Critical Illness - A lived reality for patients and their families

Abstract
This case study tells of one family's experience surrounding the diagnosis of rare cancer, where both the medical system and family struggle with a critical, largely unknown illness. The experience was complicated by communication issues between the medical profession and family, support from counselling services and lack of information - compounded by a health system concentrated in metropolitan areas.
