Description: In 2006 Barbara Clark made headlines as the mother with breast cancer who fought for the right, for herself and for thousands of other women, to be prescribed the wonder drug Herceptin on the NHS. This book tells the story behind those headlines: how she first discovered her cancer, how it affected her life and that of her children, and what gave her the will to battle not just the disease but the authorities. The Fight of My Life is the story of an extraordinary woman's courage in the face of despair.
