public system or private health insurance?
I am 55 and just got diagnosed with high grade DCIS (2 lesions, one with focus suspicions for micro invasions, lymph node U/S FNA - Negative). the hospital gave me a referral for their breast surgeon ...

I think thats a good choice in this moment, I think you do have the time and yes makes sense based on 2 lesions. I just wanted to point out too though, as in my case I did get to choose my Surgeon as I am a Private patient and have been seeing him privately for 5yrs, but he also works through the public system as well, this is why he offered this option purely to save me my money. He said the care is second to none and he's a reputable well known Surgeon in Melbourne, Id recommend him to anyone. As long as they are a specialist in the field of Breast Cancer, surgery, reconstruction is whats important. Hugs Melinda xo
