Perth system
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...

Dr Corrin Jones at SJOG subi is awesome. I was diagnosed on the Monday morning. I managed to see her Monday afternoon and she operated on my Wednesday morning! I was extremely distressed having panic attacks and she could see that and there was no messing around. I had private health insurance. Stage 2a no lymph node involvement. Then referred to Dr Tim Clay who is in room next door for Chemo (tumors over 2cm warrant chemo) started chemo 2 weeks after lumpectomy. I decided no radiation so opted for bi lateral mastectomy and reconstruction. Dr Jones did mastectomy and plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Williams also at same hospital. My nightmare started 28th May and Im now 4 weeks post reconstruction. Im going to be about 5k out of pocket BUT I was attended to so fast. There is no way I could have waited for the surgery for a month.
