*Breast Cancer* - private or nhs treatment?

[Mamabadass]

I am awaiting a biopsy result for a lump in my breast, consultant says highly suspicious and unlikely to be benign.

So I need to plan ahead!

I have access to private health care through my work. My nhs service/oncology hospital (clatterbridge on The Wirral) has a good rep.
What would be the pros and cons of private v nhs.

Any feedback gratefully received!!

Have had BC twice and went private. Mostly excellent, particularly having chemo. at home through Healthcare at Home. That said, I've been in Nhs hospitals twice with cellulitis and they have been brilliant too. I'm in S. Wales.

Thanks I will join tamoxigang when ready - funnily enough it's the idea taking of this is what I am really struggling with. I don't do drugs lol !! And the thought of having to take it for 5 yrs depresses me but I guess needs must :-& - bastard!! ( not you - it )

Think I'm ready to bite the bullet and join the tamoxigang on here now - though not got my head around the prospect of taking the drugs for next 5 yrs!! :-(
