Am coming up to the end of my 5 years of free prescriptions post BC.
As I am not 60 for another 18months, does this mean I will have to start paying again?
I have been told I must stay on Tamoxifen for 10 years and also have 3 inhalers a month to help with my breathing due to a damaged lung caused by radiotherapy.
Hi yogibear as you are still taking Tamoxifen you should still be entitled to free prescriptions. All the best xx
Hi yogibear…you are entitled to free nhs precriptions for cancer treatment, effects of cancer or effects of cancer treatment (that is my understanding); however you have to apply every 5 years otherwise you get into a ‘paying first and refund’ situation when your current exemption expires. Hope that helps?
