Hi, as a post script to Kyms comments, I am on the waiting list to have my reconstruction done via medicare. Ive been told that it will take about 3 years to be done. So the sooner you get on the list the better. You can have it done privately but I dont know about any refund via medicare.

The info sheet at BCNA is fantastic, but speak to your breast surgeon asap. take care. xxx.
