“When I finally got my diagnosis, it was a matter of life and death.”
Carlia is living proof of the barriers that many Australians face when diagnosed with blood cancer.
Carlia was 24 months pregnant and living in Darwin when she was diagnosed with diffuse large b cell lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. Due to her symptoms blurring the lines between pregnancy and blood cancer and the lack of knowledge around blood cancer amongst medical staff in the area, her diagnosis was delayed.
Then, after all the challenges of getting diagnosed, she was forced to relocate to South Australia to access the care she needed. When Carlia and her family were facing some of the darkest times of their lives, the generosity of people like you ensured her family had a place to stay at a Leukaemia Foundation Blood Cancer Centre and the emotional support of a Blood Cancer Support Coordinator.
Your support today can help break down the barriers people like Carlia face in receiving a quick diagnosis and the best treatment.
People living in regional areas are 17 times more likely to report geographical and financial barriers to care than people living in metropolitan areas
