Anyone on Halaven?
My onc wants me to start Halaven soon but he says it is quite expensive even for an invalid pensioner. He mentioned $900 for the first injection? and then it is free. Anyone know any more about acce...
Hi Lesley
Halaven is on the PBS for treatment of metastatic breast cancer so you shouldn't need to pay more than the PBS script fee for it - which is currently $38.80 or $6.30 if you have a health care card.
You have not confused it with Faslodex have you? Faslodex is not on the PBS and there is a $900 cost over three months for it.
If you would like to call BCNA on 1800 500 258 and ask for me, I will see if we can sort this out for you.
