A NSW leukaemia patient has told of his family's distress trying to raise $16,000 every three weeks for each dose of a new drug treatment keeping him alive.
Chris Brugger, 35, a father-of-two from Griffith, told a Senate hearing in Canberra on Monday, the non-taxpayer subsidised treatment for his Hodgkin's disease had improved his condition dramatically.
His wife Naomi has been able to raise $60,000 since January but lamented her fundraising efforts had diverted her attention from their young sons.
