FOUR CORNERS PROGAM ABC 2 MONDAY NIGHT 8.30

Hi @Josephine66, as a public patient you probably won't have big expenses, hopefully just little ones here & there. I had chemo as a public patient & had to pay prescription costs for the chemo & other medication but nothing else. I had surgery as a private patient, so had expenses there, then radiotherapy as a public patient,  no cost. My biggest expense since then has been for the treatment & management of my lymphoedema.  There is a public lymphoedema clinic where I am,  but they don't have capacity to do any lymphatic massage,  which is a major component of my management, and as I'm working & not elligible for a health care card,  I don't get any medicare rebate on my compression garments. That's where my private cover has been worthwhile. 
In many ways, I think public is the way to go for cancer treatmrrnt, as that's where the support services are
