Thanks for all your advice ladies. I've decided to have the surgery locally in the private system and will travel further for radiotherapy at a private clinic but hope be treated there as a public patient. In this way, there's not too much travel or hefty costs involved (my hubby's radio cost us over $40k). We are also able to access a sickness and permanent disability insurance policy I have had for years (as I'm self employed) to offset treatment costs. I also visited the local breastcare nurse and her advice and experience really was a great help. It is amazing how much better the support systems are for cancer patients now. Does anyone know of a health update blog site available in this country? There are several available in the US but it would be so much easier to update friends and family via a blog than having to repeat every piece of news over and over to every caller and visitor.
