Breast reconstruction costs.

Hi @TeePee, 
look for a request to join choosing breast reconstruction. , I have just sent you one from BRFacilitator. You just need to accept it. Let me know how you go.

I also tried to join the choose reconstruction group, I answered the question and clicked join but nothing happened, I'm not sure if they got my request or not.

Hello Ladies,
The photo stories are in the breast reconstruction private group, all sorted.

Hello @ScarlettFever welcome to the online network, I have sent you a request to join the breast reconstruction group.

Thank you!

Thanks @iserbrown, have followed up with BCNA re @ScarlettFever's application to join the group as she is not showing up as having applied. There are also some problems accessing the photo stories etc too so think there must be a technical glitch with the group. Hopefully it will be sorted soon.

Thank you all for your feedback ,

 I am having surgery through the public system with my private treating surgeon only bilateral mastectomy at the moment since I'm also going to need radiotherapy ( as if 6 mths chemo wasn't enough) , have spoken to PS , his assistant does reconstruction Diep through public , so that will be the way I will be going when I have the go ahead.

But not having worked for six months , not having to pay GAP costs for these surgeries is a load of my shoulders and a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. 

Just had to be blunt and said I have no money left over.

HI @Silba.  I also went public for a bilateral masectomy and diep reconstruction.   I had this done at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and it was about a 7.5 hour surgery and I was in hospital for six days.    The surgery and the care whilst in hospital and also post op as an outpatient was absolutely faultless.  All this did not cost me anything.
