What to expect with radiation treatment
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!). I finished chemo on 28 Jun 2019, had a mastectomy ...
Ctoo I hope you have made the decision to request your status as Public. I have been a public patient for 8yrs and so far the only cost has been parking fees - I have Herceptin infusions every three weeks, regular heart scans, CT scans, meetings with oncologist etc. I had 15 radiation 'zaps' last year and felt tired but that may be psychological as you have to fit your life around hospital visits. There was no pain or redness, just a slight browning of the skin and I used Moo Goo cream as a preventative measure and it worked. Six weeks ago I had surgery for an unrelated problem and decided to go Private - there was no difference between the care provided.
