Sandra, Ive always been a Private Patient BUT in 2011 first diagnosis needing Radiation treatment I went public, and it was absolutely fine, I definitely wouldnt have gone private for that. 2015 2nd diagnosis no radiation as cant have it twice, but chemo I chose private as my Surgeon and Oncologist are private. THEN my recent Mastectomy/Diep Flap recon 5 weeks ago I used my private surgeon and Plastic Surgeon and went public, so I had no out of pocket. I couldnt afford it any other way. Chemo was covered by medicare and my health fund I had no out of pocket for that either. x
I have a health care card too as am a Single Parent and though I work am a low income earner, if youre on the pension, your mammos etc., shouldnt be costing you at all? mine don't.
