Ctoo said:I have been told I am borderline but Dr recommends radiation treatment due to original size of tumour ($28,000 per treatment I'd recommend it too (although Medicare do cover $23,000).
I finished chemo on 28 Jun 2019, had a mastectomy on 13 August 2019. Pathology shows only 3mm of the tumour remained in breast after chemo.
I am quite anxious about radiation and not sure what to expect...so many different opinions, experiences and burns!
I didn't realise there is a cost involved although most covered by Medicare still a huge gap! Not sure how we will afford it either. Feeling stressed!
