NHS needs to fund drugs for prostate cancer
NHS England need support from the government to make it possible for all patients with life threatening diseases to access drugs that prolong life expectancy. Cabazitaxel is a drug that has recently been available from the cancer drugs fund that has been given to men with metastatic prostate cancer when other forms of treatment have stopped being effective. This drug both improves quality of life and extends the life of many men when no other form of treatment is available.
This said drug has now been withdrawn from the cancer drugs fund list because it is deemed to expensive! Men with prostate cancer have fewer treatment options than any other cancers and making it unavailable will have devastating effects on many patients. Please sign the petition to get this very effective drug re-instated.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
