Hi all

I'm Pauline from Perth WA.

Diagnosed Dec 04, Stage 2 tumour left breast. Mastectomy, reconstruction, then soon learnt pretty quickly the implications of being Her2! 6 months of chemo (AC and Taxotere), and lucky enough to get on a Herceptin trial, which I completed in June 2205 after a year of treatment. So far so good. I was attending the Mount Hospital here in Perth. Still go for the regular checks every 3 months.

I saw something in the paper this week that Tony Abbott is pushing for Herceptin to get on the PBS, but the powers that be are saying that the data from the trials so far is limited and inconclusive!! It wouldn't be about money would it??? Surely not!!!

Good luck to you all!

Happy days!
Cheers
Pauline

Good luck to you all
