Has anyone had radiation treatment in Australia over the last couple of years please?
Husband has just been given the costing and it doesn't make any sense.
Medicare pays $20,000
If you have to have radiation treatment you are expected to pay a further $620,00 a week for five weeks.
Even if you are on a Part Pension or Pension!

Coronavirus crisis: McGowan’s zero policy even after 80% have had COVID jabColin BrinsdenAAPAugust 15, 2021 1:33AMTOPICSCoronavirus (COVID-19)Mark McGowan wants a zero COVID policy in WA - even when the State reaches an 80 per cent vaccination rate.
The Premier said that despite National Cabinet agreeing that Australia would open up when an 80 per cent vaccination rate was achieved, he would retain a zero COVID policy and not tolerate any cases or deaths in WA.
Despite Mr McGowan pursuing a zero COVID policy, Federal Emergency Management Minister Bridget McKenzie said it was an impossible aim and the virus would end up becoming like the flu over time.
“We will never be able to eradicate this virus from our country or indeed from the globe,” she told Sky News.
“That is a scientific reality of pandemics.”
Mr McGowan also urged the NSW Government to take an even tougher stance on eradicating the coronavirus for the sake of the country.
NSW has now gone into Statewide lockdown after reporting a 466 new cases and four deaths yesterday, although the State’s Premier Gladys Berejiklian has spoken in the past about easing restrictions when vaccination rates reach 50 per cent.
Mr McGowan said NSW needed to adopt the approach to “crush and kill” the virus that was taken by WA, in South Australia and as Victoria and Queensland are doing.
Australia's total COVID-19 vaccination count has passed 15 million doses. Credit: AAP“We just want them to get it under control for the sake of the people in NSW and also for the sake of the rest of the country,” Mr McGowan told Sky News’ Sunday Agenda program.
“NSW delayed putting in measures that worked, they obviously believed all that stuff written about them being the ‘gold standard’ and all that sort of stuff, which was clearly a mistake.”
Victoria, which remains in another snap lockdown, recorded 25 new cases today, with more than half having been in the community while infectious.
Ms McKenzie said she was fully aware of the impact of lockdowns, both on the economy and on an individual’s mental health, being a senator for Victoria
“I think it is heart breaking to know that we are trying to stop the spread of this Delta variant and look at scenes at Bondi beach or people from Sydney gathering in the open without masks,” Senator McKenzie said.
“But at the end of the day it is up to each premier to make those decisions.”
Meanwhile, the Federal Government will start rolling out a fast COVID-19 screening program for NSW aged-care residents and visitors that will be done on site and more regularly.
The COVID-19 rapid antigen testing program will begin tomorrow at the Uniting Bankstown Aged Care Facility, then progressively roll out to other facilities who have expressed interest in participating.
“Given the rate at which we know the Delta variant can be spread between people, the very fast turnaround of RAT - around 15 minutes - makes these tests useful in preventing asymptomatic transmission and outbreaks as they can be used on a daily basis,” Health Minister Greg Hunt said.
He said the pandemic’s toll in Australia last year was highest among aged-care residents.
“That is why, along with the increased infection control training and vaccinations, we are looking at further innovations such as RAT to provide an additional layer of protection for the most vulnerable Australians,” Mr Hunt said.

Refugees staying at the park fled to Kabul as the only major city in the country no longer under Taliban rule by Sunday
Wonder what Imran Khan will do now?
A review by the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) found the jab was safe and effective and that the benefits outweighed any risks.
More than 90 per cent of adults at Edmondson Park in south-west Sydney have had one dose of a Covid vaccine with 69 per cent fully immunised. It is next door to West Hoxton, the scene of a super spreader birthday party in June that caused a Delta outbreak that sparked a city-wide lockdown. The Liverpool local government area is no longer among the hotspots but Blacktown is. Schofields, within the Blacktown council area, also has a very high vaccination rate.

LATIF HOTTAK: At each gate to the airport - there were five in all - I had asked for the British. I had spent six years working with them as their interpreter, but the unsmiling Turkish guards would let no one through. I was a potential Taliban target because of my years of work for British soldiers (pictured left: Mr Hottak, right, with another translator in 2008). But also because, over many years, the UK Government had repeatedly and unjustly refused me relocation - a chance to escape and build a new life for my family. When I eventually arrived home at the darkened basement that has been our home for three years, I sat on the rugs covering the floor which are also our beds. I was exhausted and depressed. So when the phone rang on the corner table, I could hardly be bothered to answer. It was my brother Rafi, also an ex-translator, who calls most nights from the UK to check on us. He said my case had been granted. I screamed, my wife screamed and my four children screamed. I feel elated but scared too, very scared. I am approved at last - but will the call ever come for the flight? Pictured far right: former interpreter Yama, who is in his third hiding place since the Taliban swept across the country to Kabul, and inset: Wazir, right, who is trying to secure sanctuary in the UK after being rejected for relocation, and a British soldier.
GUY ADAMS: A senior Taliban commander named Abdul Ghani Baradar (left) gave an interview to Newsweek in 2009 and was asked what the future of his homeland might hold. 'The history of Afghanistan shows that Afghans never get tired of struggling until they have freed their country,' he responded. 'We shall continue our jihad until the expulsion of our enemy from our land… In every nook and corner of the country, a spirit for jihad is raging.' Twelve years later, that prediction seems eerily prescient - aside from one minor detail. The Taliban's 'enemy' were not exactly expelled - but instead chose to quit the hostile land of their own accord. Baradar. who counted Mullah Omar (top right) and Osama Bin Laden (bottom right) among his friends, is now attempting to act like a global statesman.
One of Britain's widest cycle paths which is even larger than the lanes on the road it runs alongside was today condemned as 'shambles' by local residents with drivers having to pull over to avoid crashing. The cycle path, which is 11ft 2in across, was created in Wimborne, Dorset, by drastically narrowing the width of a busy B-road alongside it - leaving buses, lorries, buses and emergency vehicles with only 9ft 5in wide lanes. This is contrary to Highways England guidelines stating they must be 12ft. And, despite being more than half as wide as the two-lane road, cyclists are still using the regular carriageway instead of the freshly-created bike lane. Residents in the market town have reported lorries clipping wing mirrors as they pass each other, angry motorists shouting at cyclists for not using the path and cars veering into the oncoming lane to avoid bicycles.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has confirmed that the armed resistance to the Taliban , which includes SAS-trained forces, in Afghanistan is forming in the Panjshir Valley. Speaking today, the Russian official also confirmed that the resistance force was being led by deposed vice-president Amrullah Saleh and Ahmad Massoud, the son of a slain anti-Taliban fighter. Reports also claim that among the fighters headed to the region are members of the SAS-trained Afghan special forces. 'The Taliban doesn't control the whole territory of Afghanistan,' Lavrov told reporters at a press conference in Moscow following a meeting with his Libyan counterpart.
I wish them all the luck in the world to try and wind back their country for freedom.!

Shocking picture shows mercy plane leaving Kabul carrying pregnant wife of British ex-Marine but almost NO ONE else despite UK and US saying the evacuation was in full swing and with thousands desperate to flee the Taliban
A shocking image shows a near-empty evacuation flight taking the wife of an ex-Royal Marine commando out of Kabul as the Taliban block thousands of Afghans from entering the capital's airport and US troops fired shots into the air and used teargas on crowds trying to escape. Paul 'Pen' Farthing, a British expat who lives in Kabul and got separated from his wife during the chaos engulfing Afghanistan, said on Twitter: 'Kaisa is on her way home! BUT this aircraft is empty… scandalous as thousands wait outside Kabul airport being crushed as they cannot get in. Sadly people will be left behind when this mission is over as we CANNOT get it right'. There have been reports this week of evacuation flights leaving Afghanistan with just a handful of people on board, despite thousands of trapped foreign nationals and locals all struggling to escape the threat of persecution under the new Taliban regime. Westerners and visa holders trying to get to their flights say they are unable to get to the gates because of the crowd of up to 50,000 desperate locals who are gathering outside the airport and begging US and British troops to let them through. US troops have been firing warning shots to disperse thousands of desperate Afghans outside the airport, with footage taken on Wednesday night showing stun grenades flashing beside the perimeter. Expats who tried to get through the gate claimed the shots were fired by Western forces.
WA Premier Mark McGowan has announced NSW will be reclassified as 'extreme risk' meaning no-one will be able to enter besides government officials, even for compassionate reasons.
