@"Kiwi Angel" I elected to go private with the radiation after doing a deal with them. I said Id go public as it was goIng to be too expensive but they offered me $150 per week for the 6 weeks out of pocket. Worth asking. If Ive only learned one thing through this breast cancer it is to ASK and barter and its as expensive as the greedy private health professionals want to charge. Hope you keep your breast care nurse as she will be really helpful. Wishing you a speedy comfortable healing. x
