Herceptin on PBS for Metastatic BC

Herceptin is available for women who are Her2+ - not much use if you are not. Talk to your oncologist.
Best wishes.... Pam

Yes herceptin is most definitely available as are more targeted therapies.

Yes. I had it first time round now having it along with Perjeta every three weeks. 

Thanks Pam...it's for a relative..she hasn't been given Herceptin yet so I assume she isn't HER2+ but I'll mention it to her
Good to see the targeted therapies but I thought Herceptin and Perjeta might be the only ones possibly on the PBS for breast cancer - haven't seen anyone taking Kadcyla except on trials?
Hope Herceptin and Perjeta are working well for you, nellejs

Thanks Triton. Fingers crossed, yes, so far so good. 

Hi Triton,
Kadcyla is on the PBS, but again, only useful for Her2+.
Best wishes..... Pam
