PHARMAC decision to fund more cancer drugs 'massive' relief to Kiwi mum paying $6,500 per month to survive
10 August 2019 - PHARMAC's decision to fund more cancer drugs has surprised one Kiwi woman as well as lifted a "massive weight" off her shoulders.
Karyn Robson started taking AlectinB when she was diagnosed with lung cancer, but at just under $6500 a month, it hasn't been cheap to fund.
"My parents were with me. They said, 'We want you around. We want you around for your daughter. We'll get whatever money together that we can as a family collectively and see how long we can make it stretch'," she recalled to TVNZ1's Seven Sharp.
