New diagnosis
I am newly diagnosed, less than two weeks ago, and am terrified. I am attending RPH however am wondering if there are any benefits in using my private health insurance.
Could anyone advise me?

Hi Eileen,
I have just had a bi-lateral mastectomy at Royal Perth as a public patient. All the nurses there were absolute angels - i couldn't have asked for better. I was on a ward with a lady for one night and she had private health insurance but was admitted as a public patient - when i asked her why she said "because of the gap" i was under the impression the gap was quite considerable.
Other than that i really don't know if there are any benefits.
Hope this helps,
Sue. X
