Gold Coast people - re radiation - Apparently you can go through the public system and presume that would be the new G C Hospital at Southport. Apparently parking is a really nightmare there and expensive.... Anyone there recently?
also by all that I have read on here and in other info by BCNA most people choose Dr and hospital private and then do the radiation public. My Dr estimated the 5-6 weeks to cost $3500-5000 Out of pocket expenses if done through private medical benefits. Just the hospitalisation, Dr, radiology MRI and surgery have cost $5000 out of pocket so far - How do people on a pension afford this when we already pay $400 a month for Medibank Private. My husband and I are on seniors pension and it feels like the government aren't caring about us over 60's with breast cancer. No more free mammograms, $500 for an MRI etc etc. :(
