Hi there @Lisa Janelle I’m on the qld public waiting list for recon been on it for 18 months already just to see the surgeon and there’s still over 100 it front of me. I had the BCNA approach me to do an interview with channel 10 bribane last month you can see it on the BCNA face book page. I’ll be waiting at least another 12 months to see the surgeon and then at least another 18 months to 2 years after that for my surgery. It’s consdered elective surgery which is bullshit. I’ve been pretty proactive wetness to my local member Susan lamb who has been very supportive and has spoken about it in parlaiament. But no light at the end of the tunnel yet to get the wait times down. You can sometimes have immediate reconstruction depends on your circumstances so check with your surgeon to see what your options are. In hindsight if I’d known it was going to be this long i would of considered having it done immediately so I wouldn’t have to have more surgery. Margie.
