Re the payout, remember you may need support whilst undergoing treatment, even if only day surgery like my Nana was lucky to get away with, though my mother had surgery through public and onc is through public, though no reconstruction needed thankfully, but clearing the nodes has stopped her driving so she’s had extra costs for home support and pain meds not on PBS. Hopefully you get a smooth quick ride like my Nana, and my mother isn’t the heaviest need, but she’s needing funds for supports through treatment, not just Drs and hospital. Hth and good luck
