Jacinta Kelleher's only chance of surviving cancer is an expensive drug used in the UK and America.
She is pleading with Health Minister Simon Harris to approve the drug in Ireland as it is not currently available.
The 34-year-old exhausted every other drug for her stage-four kidney cancer and has now begun an online petition for Nivolumab, known as Opdivo, to be given to her to help combat the 11 tumours in her body.
She tells Gavan why she can't access the drug in Ireland.
Michael Barry, director of the National Centre of Pharmacoeconomics, explained to Gavan how drugs are approved in Ireland.
