Public / Private
Hello,
it’s been quiet a while since I have been on hear , I am in my 7 th year and I am off tamoxifen woo hoo.
I am on a bit of a mission and would love some feed back from you all regarding going to a public hospital what did you get after your surgeries the freebies , bra , leaflets , the horse shoe pillow for under your arm etc. I went private and got all these and more , why does it have to be so different we all have gone through cancer we all should receive the same things regardless. I have had a few friends that have gone through the public hospital and didn’t get any information that might help you. This isn’t right as far as I know public patients now have a breast care nurse which they didn’t before . Love some feed back ladies ox

- I went private. I had excellent care and lots of information but no bra, no pillow, no breast care nurse. I didn’t need or miss them. I think details of care provided may vary from place to place but as far as I was concerned, I got everything I wanted and needed.
- I went public and during covid as well with many lockdowns. I received pamphlet re bcna from breast care nurse. Received brochures about head wear / wigs. I received a free berlei bra and a zonta moon pillow. I felt I received good information. Received a flyer re look good feel better program.
