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 went and saw the private surgeon my GP recommended and guess what, she does both private (without any gap payments) and public. I ended up going as a public patient as I had to stay only one night in hospital (and a lot less paperwork) and mastectomy was on the 15th of December.
they removed 2 sentinel lymph nodes and now it's a LONG wait until I will get the results due to the Xmas break. I have an appointment on the 10th of January, almost 4 weeks after mastectomy :(
