Unfortunately I don’t live in either place, but it would be good to let people know. I was diagnosed almost 3 weeks ago and we are already in the thousands for out of pocket costs. I had to have a large seroma drained yesterday at a cost of $350. Another unexpected and expensive cost. I’m not sure how people get on if you don’t have savings. For us it means definitely a change in lifestyle and the fact that I haven’t been able to return to work as early as expected also puts more pressure oh financially.
