Federal budget 2022: more funding for breast cancer drug Trodelvy
29 March 2022 - Against all the odds Sydney mum Alison Day will get to celebrate her daughter’s 12th birthday — and thanks to her dying wish many more Australian women battling aggressive breast cancer might make new milestones as well.
Ms Day and her daughter Matilda were invited to Canberra on Tuesday night to watch Treasurer Josh Frydenberg deliver the 2022-23 Budget, who revealed her struggle in a heart-wrenching moment during his speech.
Mr Frydenberg announced the listing of Trodelvy on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, which will save patients with the rare triple negative breast cancer up to $80,000 per treatment.
