Thank you to each and every one that took the time to sign my petition to both the Federal Health Minister and my local MP Scott Morrison. To say I am overwhelmed by the support received is an understatement.
A huge thank you goes out to Bedside to Bench, the APGI, Pancare and the Garvan Institute for believing in me and supporting me all the way.
Amazing news broke last night with the PBAC revisiting their initial assessment. Abraxane will now be available for $36.10 per month, opposed to $5000 per month.

I have been humbled to receive so many phone calls and messages of support today. I did this for my late Dad, in the hope one day this medication could start to aid the treatment of the insidious Pancreatic Cancer.
My journey is not over, as I will be supporting further Pancreatic Cancer awareness in the upcoming months. If you would like to keep updated you can email me at nagem1@optusnet.com.au
