23 August 2024 - A young Hervey Bay mother fighting to access costly treatment for her stage three breast cancer has shared the gut wrenching conversation she finally had to have with her two sons, and why. Read her story, and sign the change.org petition to help her.
Hervey Bay mother of two Brandi Allsop is just 39, but she has been in the fight of her life for more than three years against triple-negative breast cancer.
With the return of the cancer in 2024, Brandi needs Lynparza (Olaparib), a drug that targets BRCA gene mutations, to continue her battle, but the drug is incredibly expensive and not covered by the PBS, meaning her family would need to find an extra $78,000 a year for her treatment.
