New Zealand women with advanced breast cancer are dying faster than in other countries
6 October 2018 - Wiki Mulholland, 40 is calling for Ibrance to be funded by PHARMAC so more women can access it.
Time to spend with her three children. Extra time to go on family holidays. Birthdays to celebrate.
Mulholland is 40 years old and in May was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, the most advanced stage of breast cancer, which has spread to her bones.
When her family started looking at treatment options they learned early on the drug that gives her the most chance of gaining extra time, with the least side effects, is not publicly funded.
