12 February 2019 - Women with terminal breast cancer will be sharing their heartfelt stories with MPs about the dire struggles they face while they wait and hope for important medicines to be funded.

The women will have their voices heard at two meetings of Parliament’s Health Select Committee where they will describe why they need the drugs and the impact of not having them on themselves and their families.

Breast Cancer Aotearoa Coalition chair Libby Burgess says: “The women will tell powerful, compelling stories about why they desperately need access to the medicines that can extend lives and improve quality of life. It is important for MPs to see and hear first-hand from real people who are personally, deeply affected,” Libby says.
