Natalie's mum was diagnosed in Oct 2014 with Mesothelioma. The diagnosis for mum and our close knit family was absolutely devastating. Mum contracted it when my dad and her built us a cubby house over 30 years ago. Mum was given no hope of treatment after her initial first round of chemo and was told by her oncologist that there was no point in her making any further appointments as there was nothing they could do, she was given 3 months at best and she should go home and spend time with her family. Mum before this disease was the life of our family and the most attentive of grandmothers. She went from fun loving, active and dependent to bed ridden and gravely ill, in daily pain within a very short space of time. Mum had all but given up until we heard about the wonder drug Keytruda. It gave mum the hope she needed to keep fighting. On discussing the treatment with her oncologist we discovered that the drug was not on the PBS for Mesothelioma and it would cost approx. $9000 every three weeks. Mum is a 69 year old pensioner!!! The family has rallied around and we are paying for her treatment privately. She has always been there for us and now we are trying to be there for her but the financial cost is crippling. Mum had her first dose of Keytruda last week, we are keeping our fingers crossed and supporting Lou's campaign to have this wonder drug put on the PBS for Mesothelioma as its the only chance mum has of regaining her life back.
