Breast cancer sufferer Claire McLintock fundraising for new drug palbociclib
12 August 2017 - Claire McLintock knows she will eventually die of cancer.
But she wants the time she has to be both long and worth living - and she believes it will be thanks to a breast cancer drug recently introduced to New Zealand.
The drug palbociclib is so new an application to PHARMAC for funding has not been made and so McLintock, who is married to high-profile Auckland artist John Reynolds, must find about $6000 a month for the drug.
