37. Australia Has Access to Enhertu—England’s Stage 4 Breast Cancer Patients Deserve the Same.

Wellbeing Interrupted

09/19/24 • 58 min

How would you feel if access to life-extending treatment was denied?

Living with stage 4 breast cancer is hard enough. I get it—I was diagnosed in February 2022. However, living in Australia, if my cancer were to become HER2-low, I have the comfort of knowing that the life-extending drug Enhertu is now available through our Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. Yet, this same drug remains out of reach for women with HER2-low breast cancer in England.
It isn't fair. So, I reached out to the incredible Jeannie Ambrose, who is living with stage 4 breast cancer in England, to discuss the emotional impact of being denied access to this treatment. In this episode, we not only highlight the profound frustration but also support the campaign fighting for access to Enhertu in the UK. Let’s shine a light on this injustice and raise awareness of the need for equal access to life-extending treatments.

If you LOVED the episode, make sure to share this on your Instagram stories and tag us @hurdle2hope and @jambeannie

Key Episode Takeaways:

Understanding the Diagnosis: Jeannie’s Journey with Stage 4 Breast Cancer
Why the Fight for Access to Enhertu Matters
The Emotional Toll of Inequality in Treatment Access
Enhertu: What Is It and Who Benefits?
The Personal Is Political: Why We Should Care
How You Can Help: Taking Action

About the Guest:
Jeannie Ambrose lives in Cambridgeshire, England, and was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer de novo over five years ago. Now, as a HER2-low breast cancer patient, she is a patient advocate and has been involved with Breast Cancer Now to campaign for access to the life-extending drug Enhertu. Jeannie shares the personal impact of being denied access to this drug. For further details on why this decision was made and the efforts to gain access to the drug, please visit the Breast Cancer Now Enhertu Campaign.
