Re: Australian Treatments and Access
Sadly Amanda I'm not eligible only because my liver function tests are now so bad I don't meet the organ function criterion. This is exquisitely frustrating because a couple of months ago I would have been fine. Hope your treatment is going well. Everolimus (which I would have to pay for) is one of the drugs one of my oncologists is thinking I could try though my other onc doesn't think my liver is good enough to cope with chemo. Hmm...we'll see. Marie tells me Milk Thistle is good for liver function. For the next 2 weeks I will get by when I am in New York with Tykerb and Dexamethosone. just had Herceptin and Zometa. So here's hoping things will be OK.
Hope things are going well with your treatment (do you know if you have the Everolimus or the Placebo?)
Thanks for your concern,
Trish
