54 year old Ann Marie Rogers won her case to be supplied herceptin to stop her "early stage breast cancer"

At 54, Is she thinking of having kids ? She is almost certainly going to deprive a person from having a liver or heart transplant because her care trust can't afford to do one operation as a direct result of paying for her tablets. Is she being a bit selfish wanting this drug? Or was this truly the only way of curing her cancer?

1. If her cancer was Herceptin positive, it is her only choice for survival. It is standard care for a patient with herceptin positive receptors. It has nothing to do with her having children, and I don't think at 54 years of age she is being selfish.
