So it turns out Abraxane is publicly funded when it's used as first line treatment. Since my wife already had FOLFIRINOX she is not eligible.

However there is something called 'Abraxane Access Program' where it covers 60%. We enrolled in this program.

Her first treatment is today. She is also getting a drain for her ascites. She is in agony, cannot eat anything but fluids.

I'm glad you were able to get some funding assistance for the Abraxane. Hopefully your wife feels some relief after today's therapies. Good luck!

How is your wife doing, @waiting84?
