NHS Funding for life saving surgery not available in the UK.

Additional Information

I have recently been diagnosed with an "inoperable" brain tumour although after sending my scanned images to a hospital in Chicago they have confirmed that it is operable.

Accordingly, I now have to try and raise the money to fund this treatment myself as by deeming it inoperable the NHS can now dismiss my claim for funding.

If you look at the link below you will see how Laura who also had the same type of tumour and the same diagnosis refused to accept that this was the end and after having surgery in Chicago was told that the tumour had been removed 100%.

The Daily Mail have said that they would like to do a follow up on my story in the paper and then ask the questions as to why we won't fund this life saving treatment.

I have emailed Jeremy Hunt & my local MP but they are too busy in Parliament to reply.
