Hi all
My surgeon, who I see 6 monthly, orders only the tomosynthesis and mammogram plus the ultrasound if the radiographer wants one for additional clarity. I was to see the oncologist one 6 mth then the surgeon the other but as she says I no longer require her services he kindly picked up the dollars for both visits !!!!
Coming in on the cost of MRIs. My husband has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia and during the assessment phase we had to pay the full MRI cost. Had he just been having unexplained headaches the MRI would have been free under Medicare - go figure ! Having worked hard and paid taxes all our lives we are not impressed.
My out of pocket expenses for my BC are high, no discounts and I cannot afford reconstruction due to that (quoted $22k). We struggle to pay private health insurance but are now thinking seriously of leaving that and going public.
