Hi Kristi ,
It was lovely to chat earlier and I hope it helped a little to 'rest your brain' - as mentioned, Perjeta (Pertuzumab) is only on the PBS for stage 4 (metastatic breast cancer) at this stage BUT it has been recommended for PBS subsidy for early breast cancer, however there is no confirmed listing date - you can follow how it is tracking here: www.pbs.gov.au/medicinestatus
If you wanted more information about targeted therapies such as Perjeta you can read more here: www.bcna.org.au/targeted-therapies/her2-targeted-therapy-drugs/ and definitely check back in with your treating team to discuss the patient access program for Perjeta.
I hope it helps guide your next steps.
Keep in touch and all the best for treatment.
