Kate Polson is self funding the non government funded IBRANCE chemotherapy for her metastatic breast cancer. It is clearly working for Kate.

Waikato

Kate has a fascinating story. Diagnosed many years ago with Breast Cancer, she has survived multiple rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Kate has exhausted her funded options and has self funded 6 months of Ibrance at $6000 a month. The Ibrance is working brilliantly with Kate enjoying her best health for many a month. However the self funding is talking a toll and it is time for us to try and help Kate with this burden. Please spread the word. Kate has worked tirelessly through the years helping others in her past profession as a Physiotherapist but also in a widespread role within her community. She has also had her hard times with the loss of a husband and 2 children. Kate needs our help now- not that she would ever ask. You know the type, strong, smart, loyal and forever helping others. Please help us help Kate. Thank you.
