SUBSEQUENT
TRIP. Second visit to RCH for Ben diagnosed with Myelodysplasia
(a life-threatening disorder of the bone marrow and a pre-leukaemia
condition) has undergone a bone marrow transplant at RCH Melbourne
in May 2003. The family relocated from Mildura to Melbourne
for a seven month period whilst treatment was undertaken.
The young 15 year old needs to be monitored at RCH in Melbourne
on a monthly basis. The family are financially disadvantaged
and dependent on Centrelink / Social Security support only.
Together with an unreliable car, the drive from Mildura to
Melbourne is physically very demanding for the family.

Ben required an emergency flight to Melbourne for immediate
hospital admittance.
