@Mjheke Ask for an immediate transfer to a public hospital in Brisbane. You need to do this for your wallet, your mental and physical health. Take a deep breath and start the process today. (I rarely advise people so firmly but you definitely need to do this.) As someone has already suggested, you could even just go to the public hospital and say you didn't realise how much you would have to pay by going private, and it's sent you broke and you can't cope any more.
You should be able to get your radiation plan sent to the public hospital, I would think - though I'm not absolutely sure about that. You may need to have planning again. But it would be worth it for the sake of your anxiety.
I was public for EVERYTHING and I've not paid a cent - except for parking. I'm an age pensioner but I'm pretty sure it's the same for anyone without private health insurance. The radiation people in the public hospital I went to are magnificent. And the oncologists. And the pathologists. And the medical imaging people. And the pharmacists.
