Cost of radiation
Hi, so a few weeks ago I had a lumpectomy and a couple of nodes removed, was told the surgery went well. It was high grade DCIS, told that I will only need radiation, I was treated in the QLD public system even though I do have cover. They suggested I do my radiation at Springfield or in Brisbane,,,but I opted for Toowoomba as it is closest to me and still over an hour away plus I am wanting to stay on at work. I was contacted today by St Andrews at Toowoomba and told I will have to pay, first visit $200 get $72 back from Medicare...Bit worried now as I am low income,,,and wandering what will the whole treatment cost ?
