I am appalled.
Just had NDIS review with totally unprofessional obviously corporate and not disability sector, unprepared woman who called my son and his coordinator the wrong names and clearly had not read the plan review report!!!!!!!
When my son said he was in hospital due to si she wanted to keep asking provoking questions!!!!
I am very uoset by this and once review comes through the organisation will be hearing from me.
Oh no, @Anastasia ! 😞 I am shocked but also not shocked, from all I have read about the NDIS sadly 😞
I hope your son is coping OK after that call 😞

Dad's in a room. Mum and I could visit last night.
Surgeon came whilst we were there. New cancer pressing on bile duct. Complete blockage. Very risky difficult procedure apparently.
Will do it Monday or Tuesday as have to wait for thinners to get out of system. Only palliative not long term. If successful then Chemo can start after bl00d returns to normal, around two weeks. It may shrink tumour/s to provide comfort.
Not at all good news for my dear Dad 😔
I'll be busy visiting with Mum over the next few days as she is deaf in case any updates I can relay to her.
