So my name is Deidre Armstrong, born in the Pilbara, raised in the Kimberley and my mum's family are born and bred in Derby.
How did the Heart of Australia staff on the truck make you feel
They were welcoming, it was a really good feeling. They make you feel comfortable, they settle you, you know if you're nervous, they calm your nerves and it's a really good feeling in there. Amazing. It was amazing.
What would you tell people where were undecided about having a scan
I was exactly the same. It's all about prevention. Nerves aside, have it done. It's a service that's available to you and I think it's important. Early detection, you know, is the key. And you know what, you could come away, you know, nothing detected. Have a check up again in a couple of years if there is something detected. It's all about early, early detection prevention. Get it done.
It means so much to our community, any community, to have a service like this. It's readily available. It takes out travel time, it takes out stress time takes out time away from family. So you know it's available here. Do it, take advantage of it, utilise it.
