Hello,

I expect this is wishful thinking but did anyone hear the news this morning about the NHS from today now being able to offer an alternative to chemo for some cancer types? It means more people can take a tablet rather than attend hospital and less side effects. It lists bowel cancer and pancreatic cancer but also says there are 50 cancer types that this applies to. I've search the internet but can't find a full list. I get the impression they have pushed it through because of the Covid risk in attending hospital.

Like I said a bit of wishful thinking on my part but wondered if anyone had any more info?

Love and hugs to all
