Perjeta for early stage HER2+
Hi there, I'm 35 and recently started neoadjuvant chemotherapy for early stage HER2+ breast cancer (spread to lymph nodes). My oncologist has mentioned that there is an additional drug called Perjeta that can be taken with Herceptin, however it is not on the PBS for early stage cancer and therefore would have to be self funded. I'm keen to hear of people's experiences with using Perjeta in this way: - why you chose to have it or not have it - how much it ended up costing - whether private health insurance funded any of it (particularly Bupa) Thanks in advance!
