Prolia should be on PBS
Mainly for anyone who is er+ post menopausal and taking Aromatase Inhibitors but guess the more that join in the better as is a bit of a focus on bc atm with the passing of Connie and Olivia's recurrence.
As you know Aromatase Inhibitors whilst highly effective in prevention of bc recurrence do thin bones and cause fractures.Currently Prolia injections ( denosumab) are only available on the PBS price to women over 70 or those under 70 who have a fracture. Many bc ladies who are under 70 er+ and post menopausal are osteoporotic with low T scores who should not have to endure a fracture before accessing Prolia at the PBS price .Prolia I gather also works synergistically with hormone therapy in prevention of bc recurrence.
I have drafted and sent an email to Christian Porter federal minister for social services who has recently issued media releases regarding bc - there are other federal MPs that may also be open to this issue at this time including our local MPs. Anyone else interested in stirring the pot ? Happy to upload my email as a template for you to customise if required.
Sisterhood is powerful!
