Haha, stalk away .... we’ve all done it!
@Greengirl, my rads were public and cost nothing, whilst I was private for surgery and about $6000 out of pocket - but I wanted it done as soon as possible ... no waiting!
My rads accommodation was heavily subsidised too and I went home on weekends. Hubby came with me. I almost treated it as a holiday! How far is Coota from Wagga? If you can, treat yourself to staying ... at least for a few days each week, so you don’t have to travel so much. Treatment is usually about 4 weeks, Mon-Fri.
I hope you’ll find the rads to be quite easy, so long as you don’t burn. Tell them immediately if you burn - and make sure you lay the lotions on 2-3 times a day but not on the morning of your treatment.
Terrific that you can can catch up with @arnlybub in Wagga too!
Take care xx
