@traveltext That is Totally not fair if it doesn't cover men as well as women!! Good luck with the research, @Giovanna_BCNA
Fingers crossed for a positive outcome! It is bloody ridiculous - if it works for one & is 'covered' - it should be covered for one & all! When my husband was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2010, the chemo regime he was recommended was covered on PBS if you had bowel cancer (and some others) but not stomach cancer! It was going to cost thousands ...... I had won a $2500 brand new kayak that I sold to help fund his treatment .....
Then - on the day he started, it was put on the PBS!! (Thank GOD!)
