Hello I'm wondering about the public system in Perth. A friends sister was diagnosed with Stage 3 last Friday and is waiting to hear today from the hospital for an appointment. Does this sound right...
I go to Fiona Stanley Cancer Centre. The doctors there are wonderful and I'm glad I was directed there. I used to prefer to be a private patient for any medical problems but I wouldn't even consider going private for breast cancer. About a week to wait for your appointment letter sounds right to me. Don't forget the mail system in Perth is slow these days as well so that could be a consideration. If your friend is still concerned by next week, she should give them a call.
