Call out for anyone living in Queensland who has experienced out of pocket costs for breast MRIs
@Zoffiel - I'd love to go on a crusade to let everyone know how hard and lonely things can get during breast cancer treatment.
To be asked for money to save yourself seems odd - like just go and die if you can't afford it.
I've forked out well over $10,000 in the last 12 months for scans and radiation.
I have no insurance for my body, house or car. I don't believe in insurance. It's just another wager that you're making with someone (usual a corporate giant). I'm sure I've saved a fortune and that my 'self insurance' has paid off, lol.
After my second MRI (at the same place in Qld) I left with tears streaming down my face due to the appalling treatment I received. I have issues with some of the private radiology clinics. The staff at private clinics rarely get a vein first time round and I had 6 months of chemo with no port, so good are my veins, according to the chemo nurses. They never had to have a 2nd or 3rd go, unlike many in the private sector.
