Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Thank you for welcome to your group. I am mother of 24 yr old son, with cf, in Melbourne, Australia. He has just come out of hospital after a " tune-up " (2 weeks) and is feeling better. He is very beautiful, strong, and wise and dearly loved. We are so lucky in Australia that treatment is free of charge and prescriptions, even Pulmyzone, cost about $4. However if he could work he would lose this benefit, and if he married and his wife was employed, he would lose medicine concessions.. I think Pulmyzone cost about $1000 per week.(Our Govt. picks up this cost) How is treatment in other countries? ***** Forwarded Message Follows ******* >To: leonards@... >From: cfparents Moderator cfparents-owner > >Date: 3 Oct 2002 15:55:26 -0000 > > >Hello, > >Welcome to the cfparents list.
