      I have tried contacting the ministry before but to no prevail,my oncologist has even told me and my wife that no one at the hospital wants to take responsibility for me because there are to many different things wrong with me,my melanoma specialist sent me for an ultra sound on some lumps Bt got sent away because they were to hard to get to and see so dnt worry about it.although how gutless it sounds I have given up on help from my doctors now as its like banging my head against a wall
