Verzenio now available on PBS for Metastatic Breast cancer
Forum Discussion
Good news - I couldn't find any conditions (other than being premenopausal and having MBC) also. So I am sure it will be available irrespective of what line of treatment. I have now been on Verenzio for 13 months (accessed through a trial) and no sign of progression yet. However, I am the only one from my hospital and on the trial that is still taking Verenzio. Around half the women came off due to side effects and the other half had progression (although only a small number on the trial anyway). They think I am doing better than the others because my tumour burden was a lot lower at the start of the trial. I was actually in remission from taking capecitabine but the hand and foot side effects were very debilitating, so my oncologist thought she would try me on Verenzio to give my hands and feet a spell. The more drugs we have in the 'toolkit', the better off we are!!!
