Public / Private

I went private, had lots of info and support from breast care nurse before 1st surgery ( when I was in a bit of a fog and I didn't really know what I was getting in to!) She gave me the Zonta pillow and a lot of reading material. She called me after path report came back suggesting mastectomy would be needed.  After mastectomy she gave me a drain bag..(.which was very useful for the 15 days I had the drain) and bought a berlei bra that didn't fit and a crocheted boob..which did fit. She ordered  another from berlei which was still too small when in arrived.  Went public with radiotherapy which was fantastic...looked on my medicare history to see that my 25 treatments cost 25 thousand dollars!  Im so thankful for medicare and public hospital system.
