Costs
I am not sure which hormone therapy I will need yet but is it all the same costs if you’ve started being prescribed through private or public?

Hi Newwingstoo :) While we wait for others to advise on their experience with this, I thought it might be helpful to share some relevant information and resources from BCNA.
The actual medication cost should be the same whether you go through public or private. However, depending on your individual circumstance, there can be additional in-person appointments required so that could be more expensive if you go through the private system.
