Ibrance on the PBS
Does anyone know any details about Ibrance (palbociclib) being put on the PBS? Will it be made available only to newly diagnosed women as well, not those that have had prior treatment? Cheers.

Just wanted to let you, my oncologist and the pharmacist were able to access Palbociclib for me, so I'm only paying the $40 PBS rate. The compassionate grounds were accessed and then submission was sent to the hospital board (I think) and I got approved, I did get denied the first time but the documentation was reworded and submitted again and I was approved. It would have been so much easier to access if it was on the PBS already for second line treatment ( I have gone through all the aromatose inhibitors and tamoxifen).
