Belleville woman with rare lung cancer urges Ontario government to cover life-saving medication through petition.

Belleville woman Susan Brannigan-Rampp, who has a rare form of lung cancer, began a new treatment due to Pfizer covering the expensive medication. Despite gratitude, she urges people to sign a petition, asking the Ontario government to cover life-saving medication for non-small cell lung cancer patients with the same BRAF gene mutation. Ontario's Exceptional Access Program covers BRAF-related melanoma treatments but not non-small cell lung cancer treatments, leaving her with a $21,000 monthly treatment cost.
