I thought I was doing okay

Could well…

Wondering about Palbociclib negotiations.
Hi everyone, I'm on a trial of Palbociclib and Letrozole, which is great because I'm fortunate enough to have free access to Palbo. However, since Ribociclib was accepted onto the PBS but Pfizer rejected the Government's price on Palbociclib, I haven't heard anything about whether negotiations are ongoing or what the…
