23-year-old Shantee Anaquod is battling atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) — a rare condition that affects only one in a million people and fewer than 150 Canadians.
AHUS causes the body to build a protein that attacks the body's healthy cells. A medication called Soliris could save her — but it costs $750,000 per year, and is not covered in BC.
