I read about this some time ago, my wife is fighting breast cancer right now so I feel I can vent a bit.
The reason this lady cannot get the drug on the NHS is that according to the government department which decides these things as she is not terminally ill she does not qualify, go figger that one out.
Stevo, it's not possible to figure that one out!!
I really hope your wife is winning her fight.
The NHS is beurocrat rationed treatment.
This is exactly what you would expect from a "free" "health" "service"
