Hi - I started radiotherapy 2 weeks ago with 3 more weeks to go.
At Genesis Care, St Vincent's clinic, Sydney. Total cost is around $28K of which Medicare pays 80%. I really like and trust my radiotherapy oncologist and this is where she works. Also the entire team there are excellent.I have to travel a long distance and value that I can specify the appointment time.
In Covid times I also like to be in the private clinic.
Wishing you all the best,
