Kadcyla- saving lives for Metastatic Breast cancer sufferers

Help these ladies!

Other countries already have this funded so why are our woman less important! give woman the chance to be spending more time with their loved ones

No one should be forced to make the choice between having a longer life and bankrupting the family, or dying quickly and leaving the finances intact. Please, Jacinda. Act NOW to stop this from happening. Chris Allan, breast cancer survivor, daughter and granddaughter to a mum and grandma who didn't make it

Cancer is stressful enough without having to worry about funding your own life extending treatment. Stop the cruelty and fund these drugs.

Please help those poor people who are suffering the disease.

Please NZ Government, these woman just want to live, raise their children, work, pay taxes and contribute to our community. Please won't you review this medication and the opportunities it presents. Even if it can't be fully funded, I believe the cost for the Government to purchase this drug is half that which the poor woman is expected to pay. Why is there such a large profit margin on a life saving drug?

Kia ora I am a breast cancer survivor who was fortunate to have medical insurance that supported me to get urgent attention to my care and then followed up with awesome care from public system as I was part of a study breast cancer trials. That was 22 years ago. Since then I have paid taxes contributed raised my whanau who are good tax paying adults now and volunteered in my community . In those 20 odd years I have contributed to society and tried to make a difference . I am so grateful to have survived breast cancer and if it’s possible why is the opportunity not available for everyone including my future generations. Everyone’s life is of value.

I have two sisters and a mother who have and are going thru breast cancer please get this drug funded so families like mine don't have to go through this.

We have access to this drug in Australia why not in New Zealand are your lives less important I think not

Please give these ladies their lives back to spend time with their families free from financial worries foe as long as possible

Please NZ Government, these women just want to live their lives, raise their children, work, pay taxes and contribute to society. What's holding you back from approving this medication?

That drug should be funded

NZ leads they way in providing early detection through mammograms, but then we don't fund a proven treatment when the disease is detected? Why not?

We should not have to beg for this

NZ is a leader in giving free mammograms to Women, but then lets it's self down by not funding the appropriate drugs to treat the disease. Should we not lead the way here too?

Please find this treatment. Time and life are precious.

There is not one Women that I know that will have that funds to pay that on meds on a Monthly basis. If this can save and help women with breast cancer why is this not funded.

Wonder if the response would be different if we were talking about the majority of sufferers being male!!!!!!

This is a must. Too ay families are broken from this

Please fund this drug
