Hi @JodieA So sorry to see you here ..... we have some wonderful WA members who will be able to guide you in your choice of hospital/services ..... as you are rural, you'll also be able to claim back some costs re fuel/airfare/accommodation via the WA Isolated Patients Scheme (not 100% sure of it's name.)
I hope you'll find some comfort online here - we know exactly how you feel & what you are going thru as we've all been there, done that. It is a roller coaster of emotions - from downright anger to tears, to being shit scared and everywhere between. I hope you have supportive family & friends around you.
Maybe they suggested Bunbury so you'd be closer to family/friends? But go with the best surgeon/facitlites!!
Take care - all the best with your decision making. I am rural NSW & instead of going local, decided to travel 3.5hrs to Sydney for my surgery (and stayed with my brother & SIL afterwards) and then went 1.5hrs north for my radiation treatment after surgery (I dodged the chemo bullet.) In both cases, I was pleased I did.
I'll 'tag' a couple of our WA members @"Annie C" @JJ70 ....
