Ribociclib and Anastrozole

Hi @Angelo, Ribociclib (and some other treatments) is only available on the PBS if it is a "first line" treatment. Otherwise, it is not subsidised and people have to pay the full price for it themselves.

That’s good to hear you are tracking ok. @Kat09 I just feeling like I’m going insane, Groundhog Day. And am eating and drinking far too much! 

Hi @Palmbeachprincess, lovely of you to check in on me...been a rough few days, fatigue wise and had a small dose of the runs but have the gastro stop on hand thanks to the advice given here. The fatigue is easing a bit now, but could also be a case of what's there to do anyway with this whole lockdown thing. We shouldve been on our way to Port Douglas  on Sat 😥 and not being able to see family and friends certainty  doesn't help in our situations. All ours live separately to us and work so aren't prepared to take the risk they may be carrying something. How are you going with the restrictions?

@Kat09 how are you feeling? Xx

Why is it that some qualify under pbs and others don’t??

That's pretty rough @Palmbeachprincess i had a friend that had to do the same. Thankfully I qualify for it under the pbs x

Tonight yay @Kat09 I’m sure they ll do the job 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Hiya, doing ok here. I’ve done 15 cycles and results are still promising. I hope everything is going ok with you , stay strong and stay well xx

Thanks @Palmbeachprincess, glad to hear your treatment is going so well. I also get a monthly bone strengthening injection every 4 weeks densobaub ( think that's how it's spelt ) gotta love the names they come up with. I start my magic pills tonight so here's hoping those spots in my liver and lungs do what they're supposed to and disappear. Stay well xxx
