Thank you from cancer patients and their families

The support of the community helps us to provide support to Queenslanders when they need it most.

Below are some of the thank you messages we’ve received and would like to share with you.

 

Your Transport to Treatment service has been invaluable to me during my 6 weeks of treatment. As I am not a Brisbane resident, my husband could not assist with my with transport and sometimes other family could not transport me to treatment, your service has been wonderful. Your drivers have been lovely, friendly and very prompt with pick up and drop off times and staff at the office when booking days for this service have been wonderful. I would highly recommend this service to anyone needing transport to cancer treatment. Thanking all of you.

 

 

To Cancer Council Queensland, Thank you for sending me those booklets. Now I know what sort of questions to ask my doctors. Again thanks.

 

 

To Cancer Council staff, Thank you for the use of the wig. It is a wonderful service preventing embarrassment when I needed to be in a public place.

 

 

Dear Wig Attendant Ladies, I just wish to thank Cancer Council for the kind loan of a wig during my chemotherapy treatment. Many of my friends and relatives kept asking when my hair was going to fall out when I had already had the last of my straggly hair shaved off and was wearing the wig. I found that it also didn’t draw attention o my state of health to people I did not know. It was good to just be able to blend in and not to answer questions which I found happened when I wore a turban. The last thing I wanted was to explain my cancer to a complete stranger even if they were kind and sympathetic. Thanks for this wonderful service and the care taken with choosing the appropriate wig.

 

 

To transport organisers and all of those drivers who have been so helpful over the last 6 weeks. You have made my treatments much more bearable. Thank you.

 

 

Dear Cancer Council team, Thank you very much for loaning our mother this lovely wig. Mum felt very good wearing it and we really appreciate it.
