@Della I sympathise with you on the waiting in the public hospital system. I went to a major public hospital that has a really good reputation and an outstanding oncology ward with lots of research going on. Despite that I waited 2 months for surgery from diagnosis and being Stage 3 on diagnosis. It was all the clinical staging that took so long, and all the appointments were drawn out, I was in the hospital at least 2 times a week for all the tests they lined up for me, that went on for about 5 weeks, then I was allocated as a Category 1 after that time, and they needed to do surgery within 30 days. I am sure all the waiting contributed to me ending up with some PTSD.
When I hear of others going through what I went through it really makes me shudder. I got through it, and you will too, but I do agree that the waiting that occurs in the public hospital system is what many people don't understand until it happens to them.
Take care, and please try not to stress, you will be OK, and just know that the wait is to be expected in the public hospital system. xx
