Story on Stuff about a woman who had to fund Cetuximab herself and whilst her cancer isn’t in remission it isn’t growing and she is feeling better than ever. She raised $62k – $25k for the drug and $35k to have 12 rounds of Cetuximab administered in a private clinic.
As if that wasn’t bad enough she had to pay more than $8k in GST.
