Help fund Ribociclib for mum to beat her breast cancer!

Methven, Canterbury

My mum, Sally, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in February 2023. Despite 6 weeks of chemo, a mastectomy and radiation, she isn’t able to receive any more chemotherapy treatment. Mum now needs a non-funded drug to continue her treatment path. As mum is immune-supressed from a kidney transplant in 2012, she can no longer receive any more chemotherapy. Ribociclib will be $4,500 per month approximately, and she will need this drug over the next two years. Mum is an extremely selfless and kind person, and never asks for help, but gives so much to others. She has had her fair share of obstacles in life, and now it’s time for her to receive some luck! She has battled kidney failure and breast cancer before, so let’s help her get the treatment she needs to fight this cancer again!!!

Use of funds

Ribociclib is a drug which is $4,500 per month, which will be needed for a total of 2 years
