What a time to find out you're not covered by HBF! And can I save my nipple?
I was diagnosed just over a week ago. Amid all the shock, at least in the back of my mind I thought, at least I'm covered with HBF. It was only when I was sitting in the office at the private hospit...
Thank you all so much.
I think the Public option sounds great from all your comments. They sent me an auto-sent text saying my appointment is next Wednesday but I haven't received a letter or phone call so that's thrown me a little. The private hospital was moving so fast, within days of my diagnosis I'd had all my scans and met the surgeon. I know it will move more slowly of course as they have such a load. But I am eager to speak to someone about my options soon.
Also if anyone's fought to keep their nipple please tell me about it.

I want to ask a question: they said my bone scan was all clear but over the past 2 weeks or so I've had a new pain in my right jaw when I open my mouth. Is it something I need to tell them? To be honest I'm afraid to ask. Does everyone now imagine all their aches and pains might be something?
Also if anyone's fought to keep their nipple please tell me about it.
Thanks
