Hi @Tidden I had my full treatment through the public system. The wait time prior to treatment is only as long as what is safe so the doctors must feel confident that your BC is not overly aggressive. I had to pay for my first mammogram and ultrasound as I found the lump between scheduled mammograms. Then I had to pay for the clips (this is not an automatic procedure) as the mammogram centre were being thingy. After that my only costs were parking and script medication for heartburn, nausea and vertigo (you may not need these either). I had chemo and surgery. I did not have radio or recon but these were offered to me at no cost.
