Don't know if any of you have read the Daily Mail today - but for any of you who are suffering from rare forms of cancer, there is an article front page about a lady who has a very similar type of cancer to me - and her fight for Sunitinib, which is one of the only drugs that has proved effective in shrinking endocrine tumours. I'm aware that Macmillan are running a campaign for rarer cancer sufferers to have fairer access to drugs, and I have added my (very loud) voice by e-mailing all our local MPs.
If anyone wants to read the article, but hasn't bought the paper, you can read it online.
I'm very much aware that it may be me soon that needs one of these drugs - and I have to state now that I will make the biggest rumpus I can. Not necessarily for me, but for my son who has inherited the condition.
Fight the good fight eh? Jeanie x
