- I found overall that bc has cost me a lot of money starting with all the gaps on tests and scans, bras, head wear, wigs, medication, radiotherapy and not to mention, time off work!! Being a single parent, I found it very hard on me financially. Who needs that stress on top of the stress of having the disease!!
- I pay $40 every month for my Arimidex, does this mean it will get more expensive??? Seriously calculate this x 12 mths x 10 yrs well quite expensive.
- I have just checked the new PBS list. Arimidex is still on the PBS price have been lowered by 63 cents. Tamoxifen has been reduced by over $3

Look up your medicines to see if they are cheaper
Some are - YEP what I thought I am not taking any of these drugs as my BC was TNBC but I thought others would want to know....
