Radiation Costs
Just curious, if anybody else has done radiation privately and had large out of pocket expenses. Just weighing up my options and was shocked at how expensive the out of pocket expense are, I've been q...
I have just got my test results back which puts me in the low risk category for the cancer reoccurring so I'm lucky I don't need to have chemo, but will need to still have radiotherapy I live on the Mornington Peninsula and my surgeon referred me to a private hospital for the radiotherapy which will cost me $2000 out of pocket, I'm waiting on my surgeon to get back to me as this is something I really cant afford and would prefer to go through the public sector - has anyone down this way gone through the public sector for radiotherapy? I'm just wondering why my surgeon didn't give me the option - maybe there are no public hospitals down this way that do the treatment?
