Kiwi women fighting for early ovarian cancer diagnosis and access to drugs
28 February 2019 - Sue Duncan,56, a midwife who lives in Cambridge, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in January 2017. She was given cancer drug Avastin, which is not publicly funded but was covered by her health insurance.
It took seven months of repeatedly going to her GP with bowel issues, bloating and pain before Lois Walton was diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer.
She was finally diagnosed with ovarian cancer in December 2015.
