hi..
I will be having a bilateral mastectomy in the coming months and went to see a private reconstructive plastic surgeon to get a quote to have a Tram Flap procedure and was quoted $13500 for his services and then the anaesthesia bill would be separate. This cost would be roughly $800/hr for a 10 hour operation. 😱😱😱

I have decided to go on the public waiting list here in Brisbane. Most of these procedures are done at the Mater and the surgeons are all very good! This was the advice given to me by Choices (cancer support dept) at the Wesley Hospital here in Brisbane.
Who knows by the time my number comes up...may have decided to not go down that path??? Time will tell 🤔🤔
