I went private for surgeon only for my first surgery (hospital was public), then opted for public for radiation and medical oncologist. Rads was at Genesis Care, and medical onc at the Kinghorn, in Sydney. Both these institutions are both private and public I think, but I had no choice but to choose public. I also had the same radiation and medical oncs all the way through, and they were wonderful. I have no doubt I received the best care possible. Very knowledgeable and skilled people, who made sure everything was 100%.
That was there, and I’m really not sure what it’s like in Melbourne, but I doubt your care would be any less. They’re professionals either way.
Good luck hun 🙏🏻💗.
