Hi,

Does anyone have experience of being prescribed repurposed off patent drugs in addition to their standard treatments provided by the NHS?

I'm particularly interested in any experience members may have of the Care Oncology Clinic in London. 

Thank you

    Hi Buff, 

    My partner has a consultation with Care Oncology Clinic tomorrow. She has already had carboplatin and rads but unfortunately  with no successful. She's now on Euribulin, though this week we've been told that her expectation of survival is now in months rather than years. 

    We had been toying with the care oncology protocol after reading some anecdotal good news stories, but now with our recent news theres nothing to lose. 

    We're praying that something has a positive effect
