Let cancer patients having their treatments and surgeries even in this emergency
Cancer patience must have the right to keep having their treatments and the care they need in order to mantain a good life quality.
NHS MUST continue treatments to all cancer patients including trials.
NHS and GOVERNMENT must let cancer patients continue having their treatments.
It's not acceptable being treated as less worth lives or as numbers.
Fighting with cancer is terribly challenging, people with other conditions should be given extra care instead of being abandoned.
I beg politics, government, nhs and whoever has the power to change this surreal situation that many of us are living.
I am one of the thousands trapped in this joke , living with an incurable disease.
I want to get access to my treatments again!
