Public vs private cost info
Hi everyone :) I was diagnosed with breast cancer on Dec 7 and had a lumpectomy through a private hospital on the 15th. It all happened very fast and I am new to Australia so was trying to get my head...
I went public and had a 2 month wait from diagnosis to surgery, and that was pre "the virus". Bear in mind that you may very well be in a mixed ward (males and females), which I find quite inappropriate considering we are suppose to be a first world country. I was in a ward with 2 men and myself and another woman. Many third world countries have women only wards to this day! I had not even considered that I would find myself in a mixed ward after having breast surgery. Something you may like to consider whether this bothers you or not.
Wishing you all the best in what you decide, and for all your treatment moving forward.
