Hi @Kaz64
I am in Sydney and had my treatment ( mastectomy , radiotherapy , reconstruction, oncologist follow up ) in the private system but both my breast cancer surgeon and plastic surgeon (who were amazing) operate in the public system as well
I know of many ladies who had their treatment in the public system who were happy .
I have heard a lot of good things about Peter Mac.
Regarfing “ bedside manner” of Doctors, some are better than others.
I didn’t initially “gel” with my oncologist but as time goes on I am much more comfortable with her - I think she is just naturally reserved whereas my surgeons are both extroverts.
There is a wealth of info on this website it can seem a bit overwhelming at first but you know the information on here is credible ( unlike much of what you will find on the internet which a friend of mine once referred to as a “ library with no librarian”.)
Take care and feel free to ask anything on here - we all “ get it” in a way someone who has never had the diagnosis of BC never really can .
