The Issue

NICE will decide in October whether to make this drug available on the NHS, the reason they have stopped it so far is cost. How can you put a price on Human Life!!!!!

I have Lung Cancer and have had extensive chemotherapy but barely touched the Tumour, then had Nivolumab for 12 months but cannot have anymore as my Healthcare scheme will not fund it anymore, the effects of chemo hospitalised me three times and almost killed me twice but Nivolumab has had a dramatic effect so much so that I am back to my normal weight and have returned to work it has shrunk the Tumour by more than half, it really is a Wonder Drug. My biggest fear now is that when the current treatment stops in November the Tumour will start to grow again and I will have a very limited time to live. I have just had a first grandchild and would love to be around for a few more years and watch him grow.
