@Tidden - feeling for you right now - I had my diagnosis this time last year ..... I had my surgery private & am about $6000 out of pocket with various gaps (in hindsight, prob should have gone public!)
My rads was public & absolutely free, and I had access to very cheap accommodation for the rads (as it is every day except weekends for a number of weeks) and had travelled to Port Macquarie to have it. They have Rotary Lodge attached to the Hospital for 'out of town patients that is subsidised by IPTASS.)
What area do you live in (city or town?) We may have members there who can give you tips on local resources.
As the girls have said - lots of deep breaths - take one day at a time - keep yourself really active & the time will fly by.
Try not to overthink it - don't use Dr Google as it will only confuse you, as every person is different, with different procedures and outcomes ...... Your team will be setting you up for the best treatment possible - have faith in them.
All the best, take care xxx
