Reconsrtuction
Hi all, well I finally decided to have a reconstruction after saying no for 4 years.
I saw my GP today & she seems to think as a Public Patient, I can not get one. There is no way I could afford to...
Hi Meg, Even after nearly four years I am still having recon work done in the public system. Had original mastectomy & immediate implant recon & now about to have yet another surgery to try & give some symmetry (including a reduction on other side) all through public.
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't have it done in public. It may mean you have to go on the waiting list, but thats nothing unusual for a non-lifethreatening procedure.
Best of luck
Carmel
