Hi ladies,
I am a 31 year old who was diagnosed with a 12mm invasive ductal carcinoma back in Jan 12, I have undergone a masectomy to have my left breast removed and am taking Zolodex for 5 years. ...
Hi there, I had the test in Australia and it cost me around the $4000 mark and they send the results to America. I was against paying that sort of money but my partner insisted. I wasn't expecting the results to come back being positive so I underwent IVF in the lead up to my chemo whilst I was waiting for the test results. The day after my IVF finished, my oncologist called to give me the test results and the great news that I didn't need the chemo. Although the debt was huge, it was worth every penny as I avoided unnessisary chemo and all the side effects that come with it. I agree that it is unfair that this test is not subsidised here, I'm still paying back the loan.....
