Alimta battle continues

Yet another Mesothelioma sufferer is denied Alimta when this could extend his life by a few months. Victor Lamb is having to pay for his own treatment when it should be freely available on the NHS. When is this goverment going to take any notice of the voices who want the drug.
Victor was featured on the front of our local paper and the link is below.

It is an idividual choice and if it gives the sufferer hope, who are this company to deny it. I have never heard of any company or committee so inappropriatley named “NICE” they certainly are not.
The update on the Alimta appeal will not be available until later this year or early next year. For some people this is too late. The link below details a little more about the meeting/appeal.
