'From the isolation of her Melbourne home, Carol Davy fights a day-to-day
battle against ovarian cancer and systemic lupus.
With COVID-19 still casting a spectre over every Australian town and city,
Carol has found herself cut off from the rest of the world.
"It's been a very stressful time, isolating to the point of nearly going
crazy," she said.
Carol lives most of her life behind N95 masks and plastic face screens to
protect herself from a potentially deadly infection.
Although Carol's illness entitles her to a home care package, her fear of
COVID-19 infection means she rarely takes advantage of it.
"I've just been cancelling them one after the other, which has been hard on me
but there was a period when they wouldn't even say whether their staff were
vaccinated or boosted," Carol said.
Routine medical trips to the Royal Melbourne Hospital have become "absolutely
terrifying" ordeals as the rest of the country moves on from the pandemic.'
