Fortunately, my costs have been minimal to date. All of the drugs I have been on are either on the PBS or supplied by a pharmaceutical company by way of trial. The Amebaciclib I am on now is supplied as part of a trial. I am very lucky to have an oncologist who is an active, world renowned, clinical researcher, so if she can't get me access on a trial she will most likely will be able to get me compassionate access. The denosumab injection I have monthly is on the PBS and costs about $40/month. I had my ovaries removed privately, but the surgeon works in the public system as well and agreed to do it for me at public prices. He even organised for the anaesthestist to do the same! I used to feel bad if offered something for free, but have learned very quickly to accept the offer if made! It certainly makes things easier given that I am not working.
