HI
have read the blogs here and can't believe that you have had to pay for scans tests etc. I had every thing from the biopsy to the Nuclear med injection, bone scan, bone density scan and CT scan done without parting with a cent! The hospital I was seen at has an arrangement I presume to have the various places to bulk bill the hospital (my treatment was all done in public system) all as an outpatient. I did have to pay the threshold of $33.30 for the chemo drugs and anti-nausea meds but was not thousands out of pocket. I am also seen privately by my surgeon but he bulk bills so again don't have to pay. Why is it all so different? It seems unfair for people to have to pay when others are not.
