GenesisCare filed for bankruptcy on 01 June
I was diagnosed last month with early BC and live in Sydney. I was offered radiation at a public hospital (free treatment, with a waitlist) or immediate access to a private GenesisCare facility.
Now I've learnt that GenesisCare filed for bankruptcy on 01 June and has had financial problems for at least a year. I was a bit uneasy with the cost and upfront payment anyway with GenesisCare so have decided to go on the public hospital waitlist.
It's incredibly demoralising and discouraging to have to consider a private provider's stability when making decisions in the throes of a surprise cancer diagnosis. Ugh.

- I wonder if it is just Sydney or everywhere @Patience01. I have not got access to the article as i don't subscribe to the fin review. Yes not the best to have this happen when treatment is needed. Just as well there are other options. I feel sorry for anyone in the middle of treatment.
