Ibrance used to cost $6000 a month in New Zealand, but I am very lucky as it is now free.
I forgot to say ......: Ibrance used to... - SHARE Metastatic ...

Yes, my medications have made it to the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme in Australia too. It would be costing me thousands of dollars otherwise. i am so grateful to our public health scheme.
I’m very happy for you! I live in the USA and my ibrance cost me 9000.00 dollars a year! Just horrible! I have hope that maybe our government can maybe solve this problem for patients like us!
I am also in the US and just started medicare. I applied to the Pfizer Patient Assistance program and get it for free. There are also Grants through the PAN Foundation. There is also co pay assistance through Pfizer if you have commercial insurance.
Thank you for your reply, but I was told by PAN and Pfizer that my husband and I make too much money. We are both retired and worked very hard for our money. So this is the price we have to pay for saving money. Just not right
We’re in the same position and no, it isn’t right. We deserve better and affordable healthcare in this country. Our health should not be jeopardized if we cannot afford prescribed medications. It’s enough to have cancer without worrying about cost of treatment. Wishing you all the best. X Kathleen
YAY!!!!
I've been in Ibrance for over 3 years and it's been paid for by various grant programs. It's about $12K a month in the US...who can afford that?
Reading this I feel so fortunate to be in the UK with NHS, all healthcare and pharmacy is free
I love NZ and live on Waiheke island. I left last month to finally visit my mom in USA... and my kiwi oncologist... made sure I took 6m supply of Ibrance with me! Free! Yay!
