Kamloops woman with stage 4 bile duct cancer pushing for coverage of expensive treatment
KAMLOOPS — A Kamloops woman is hoping the province will make an exemption to ensure the steep cost of her cancer care medication is covered.
Kenda Brown is one of a small number of people in Canada with stage four cholangiocarcinoma, a form of bile duct cancer. She was diagnosed with the rare cancer a year-and-a-half ago.
“They usually give you six months to a year, once you’re diagnosed,” she explains, saying at this stage, the cancer has also spread throughout her liver and lungs.
