How to Fight for Tykerb in Canada?

GracePang

Dear Sisters,

Tykerb is not a covered drug by either government or insurance companies in Canada. Insurance companies claimed that this particular drug is not listed in the provincial government formula and they only cover those that were listed. As far as I know, in Canada now, only two provinces (Nova Scotia and Saskachuan) listed this drug under their provincial formula. As we all know, this drug has worked wonders for many of us HER2 positive sisters and it is unfair that we have to take the stress by paying this drug from our own pocket. Can we make it a national public issue so that more government attention can be called upon? I am willing to do something, but don't know how and where to start. Any advice? We shall unite and fight for this togeter.
