Hi Lyn,

My wife was also treated by the team at Royal Melbourne and I must say they have been fantastic to date.

I agree some of the surgeons can be pretty stuck up but based on several discussions and meetings with them throughout our treatment + the results of the surgery itself, they were probably the best option by far here in Melbourne.

I agree though there is a huge void between moving between the Royal Melbourne & Peter Mac where we are currently undergoing Radio & Chemo therapy, but generally the detail to attention has been so far so good.

I have heard great things about Cabrini if you have private health care insurance and would definitely see what they have to offer if you are in need of a new team of specialists.
