Re: Australian Treatments and Access

Denise it is lovely to hear from a non Australian on this thread and thanks for the good wishes. I enjoy reading your posts and look forward to reading more of them when I get back from my holiday.
Amanda thanks for the info re everolimus-it sounds a bit tough though and maybe my liver couldn't cope. I can't imagine how you managed being in hospital with your little ones so I hope you have lots of practical and sensitive help.
I think Novartis would consider cost sharing so I will look at it when I get back. Glad you had such a great holiday and hope those skin mets come to heel -and heal for that matter!
