I have a breast MRI on Wednesday and meet with surgeon on Thursday to go through results and plan for next surgery.
Medicare will give a larger rebate if three or more relatives have had breast/ovarian cancer. I have been chasing details up with relatives overseas and have found that I can now maximize the benefit. I wondered how I would validate my claim as my relatives were not in Australia. Apparently Medicare have never questioned or done any audits to validate verbal claims. This will save approx $400, but only at a Medicare approved facility such as at Greenslopes Hospital in Brisbane.
The breast MRI show upto 95% of high grade DCIS that might not be detected on mammogram or ultrasound. I wonder why this is not more readily available? I will have both breasts checked to determine the extent of the DCIS and to determine if it is already present in the other side.
Perhaps there will be a special offer "two for the price of one?"
Any recommendations on cup size??
