Choosing an oncologist
I was diagnosed with DCIS 2 weeks ago and had a lumpectomy last week. I see my surgeon tomorrow to find out the biopsy results. I know that if I'm lucky I may not need to have chemo or to see an oncol...
I was going to a breast centre in a private hospital when I was diagnosed so after surgery had a choice with the oncologist there or go to a public hospital. I chose private & it didn't cost a cent. They admit you as a day patient so there are no out of pocket expenses including blood tests. They only had 4 patients at a time for chemo & it was all breast cancer & it was a lovely atmosphere. I am now public for radiotherapy with the radiation oncologist from the private hospital. Good luck with your treatment.
