Lately I have found myself entering any and everything available. It is driven by my need to get money, money for vital equipment to save a life, the life of my dearest mother. I can't give up on the idea that I may in fact win then I would be able to cash up and run to the hospital. I can't believe health care in Australia has gotten to this point, where she is more likely to be treated if I win the lotto. I can't sit and watch her fade without the medicine she needs being given to her. FLOLAN.. small name but very high price, the pumps alone are almost 10k, then the on-going expense of the consumables is $900 AUD a month. Then there is Glivec- the experimental drug for Pulmonary Hypertension showing great promise, I don't think that there is a more expensive drug available and medicare don't cover experimental drugs no matter how good the reviews. So I'm going to keep entering into competitions with the vague hope that I may win something for her, and keep the hope that the federal health minister or executive director for RPA show some compassion to my mum and at least fund the Flolan pump and consumables.
