Adelaide's Dr Angel (no gap!)
I am starting the year of the Dragon feeling really good ! After my mastectomy in Oct 2010 I struggled with wearing a prothesis and when my treatment was over I opted for a tissue expander.
Just before christmas I had a more permanent silicon breast implanted and my other breast lifted to match.
I feel so lucky that I had private health insurance and was able to proceed as soon as I could. But from all the stories I have read, I am also super lucky to have a fantastic Doctor who not only helped me through a really chanllenging part of my life, but she did not charge above my health fund rebate and neither did the anethesist that she used.
My husband and I are working to give our children the best education we can manage and I know that if I had had to pay to out of pocket expenses that others have, I would'nt have been able to go ahead with the reconstruction like I have,
I feel so much gratitude for the wonderful Dr Bochner.
