Dear Louise64,
I'm going to be using the public system for Radiotherapy, after Private Surgery and Chemotherapy. Not looking forward to driving, but I doubt there isn't anything closer. Not helpful to you, but have you enquired as to whether you have Income Protection insurance in your Superannuation. It could be something that you have paid for. I've opted to use it straight through ie surgery, chemo and radiotherapy. It may be an option for you. Worth checking. This way I retain my sick leave, for use later. Eg for reconstruction.
