Aussie breast cancer patient Tania Calley has been forced to sell the family home in a desperate bid to buy the expensive drug Herceptin.The brave mother of four needs to find up to $70,000 to get the drug.
"The money that I should be spending on bringing up my kids will be spent on this drug," the Shepparton mum said.
For women like Ms Calley, in the early stages of breast cancer, the drug is not subsidised by the Australian Federal Government.

This story is very upsetting. I hope Roche will do the right thing and donate at least some of the drug for her. It's terrible that they have to sell their home.
Hey Anonymous,
Fair enough they should sell their house, its good for the economy and good for the government surplus so we can have tax-cuts for those who need them the most.....
