Your Money or Your Life

Twelve years ago Danielle Tindle came back from the brink of death to survive Hodgkin's Lymphoma. By extraordinary coincidence, it was her own father's groundbreaking stem-cell research which ultimately saved his daughter's life. Since Danielle was given a second chance at life, this inspirational young woman has made it her mission to advocate for improved services and care for other adolescent and young adult cancer patients. She's become a world leader in the field. Unfortunately, mid-way through her PhD, she received another devastating diagnosis. With all conventional therapies ineffective, once again Danielle, her father and her medical team are in a race to find the next life-saving breakthrough. While Danielle will never give up hope of beating her rare cancer, can she beat the bureaucracy which means she pays nearly $5000 a shot for the treatment she needs, while a melanoma patient pays just over $6 a shot for the same drugs? Australian Story has followed Danielle's journey from the beginning.
