Public vs South Africa
I have not even got biopsy results yet but by all accounts from ultrasound it is all bad. Also just found out that our private insurance will not cover anything as Breast Cancer is not an emergency! ...

I went through the private system in Brisbane. One of my friends went through the public system earlier. She had absolutely no complaints. Breast cancer is fast tracked through the system and it's free! the only thing with the public system is you don't get to choose your hospital or doctor as you can on the private system, but the care is still the same and so is the treatment. Have a think about giving it a go like Sarah54 suggests above - you will need the support of friends around you.
