PLEASE Approve Abraxane on the PBS for Pancreatic Cancer Patients

The issue

What price is a life?  I can't save my Dad but I will try to save others from this evil disease.  

Pancreatic Cancer survival rates have not changed in 40 years, YES still 5%.

YET THERE FINALLY IS A GLIMMER OF HOPE

I am urging the Federal Government to approve Abraxane on the PBS so that the 2,500 Aussies diagnosed annually with Pancreatic Cancer have the same rights as Breast Cancer sufferers to obtain Abraxane. Abraxane has been clinically proven to increase pancreatic cancer patients’ survival rate by almost 30 per cent.

So there is a drug clinically proven to assist Pancreatic Cancer sufferers, but only apporoved for Breast Cancer on the PBS. This is UNFAIR!

Breast Cancer $36.10 v Pancreatic Cancer $15,000- THIS ISN'T FAIR.  Cancer is cancer isn't it?
