Hi @poddlejules,
I've just recently finished chemo and 4 perjeta infusions over 12 weeks. I'm going through the public system and had to pay the $9000 for perjeta.
A lot of money, I was lucky enough to get some help from my family to cover costs. I had a mastectomy and lymph nodes out for testing 2 weeks ago. My pathology results were all clear. No cancer present. Specialists saying largely due to the perjeta.
Perjeta is free to people who have a reacurrance, but they are trying to have it available for newly diagnosed people.
Hope this helps. Xo
