What a time to find out you're not covered by HBF! And can I save my nipple?

Hi @KylieG, as the others have said, I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis (and health find mixup), but joining this group will bring you much support, knowing you are not alone.
I am also in Perth and have been very happy with the care I have received since diagnosis in February this year. I had my op privately but stayed in the public system for radiotherapy (SCGH- excellent!) which saved heaps of out of pocket expenses.

Hopefully you have a surgeon you can trust, and know that they are doing their very best for you.
Sending you all my good wishes xx
