Oh bullshit. Herceptin is on the PBS, there was a huge fight for that a decade ago. Tell Greenslopes to jam it or sort it.
They can't bill you for months of treatment if they haven't told you about it previously. It will be some idiot in the office of either the health fund or the hospital. Possibly both: they've probably got all chummy discussing your case and are going to run off and have idiot children together--which is a gender neutral statement.
If you have metastatic disease you can still be subbed, but it's another bloody form.
