Combined private and public

Hi, I had surgery privately and radiation in the public system. The cost of surgery was a bit of a shock given I had private health, I probably spent about $15k all told, but I was operated on quickly and successfully, and all the medics that see the scars say what a great job the surgeon did. I had a lumpectomy but apparently there were quite a lot of tumours so it was pushing the boundaries of that kind of surgery. Anyway she got clear margins and 2 years down the track my scans are all good. At the time I didn’t care whether I had a mastectomy or not, but now I’m quite glad I got to keep my boobs. So I’m glad a paid for a good surgeon . Then the radiation at peter mac was absolutely fine - totally free and top notch brand new facilities and equipment.
