Newly Diagnosed
Hi I am Shann and newly diagnosed on the 6th September and waiting for results from a core biopsy.
I truly believe you should request your GP to write a referral to a different public hospital for a second opinion.
That option is obviously further than 50k away.
You would be entitled to assistance for this....you would get at least a partial refund.
Also your breast care nurse may have suggestions of services that might also assist with transport / costs.
I am so sorry for you with all this ongoing drama. A physician may also be the next step. Someone to look at the big picture. I lnow they don't normally deal with surgical issues however your case is not infection related and quite unique.
