Health should not depend on money.
Giving more time to a 35-year-old mother.
Daniela Paz Garcia Pena is 35 years old. In addition to being a veterinarian, she is a wife, daughter, sister, and mother of two little girls, Amalia and Francisca.
Two years ago, her life changed forever when she was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer with an EGFR mutation.
Today she needs access to an innovative treatment that may represent a new opportunity to keep watching her daughters grow.
Meet Daniela
Her story
It began with extreme fatigue, back pain, and difficulty breathing.
One winter Sunday, she went to the emergency room in Concepcion with her sister Paola.
A CT scan showed a large lesion in her right lung, and she had to be hospitalized.
Shortly after, she received a diagnosis she never imagined: stage IV lung cancer with an EGFR mutation.
She was only 33 years old. She had never smoked.
The current challenge
Daniela currently needs treatment with Amivantamab + Lazertinib, indicated for patients with specific EGFR mutations.
International scientific evidence supports this treatment, and it has been approved by regulatory agencies in different countries.
However, its cost exceeds 23 million Chilean pesos per month, and it is currently not covered by GES in Chile.
Why do we talk about butterflies?
MARIPOSA is the name of the international clinical study that evaluated the combination of Amivantamab and Lazertinib in EGFR-mutated lung cancer.
This treatment is not experimental or invented. It is supported by international scientific studies and approved in different countries.

How can you help?

Her family has become her shelter, her strength, and her hope.
Raising awareness
