Petition updateTony Abbott: please don't let me die of melanoma waiting for this cancer drug to be approved in Australia
PBS Listing

They seem to be delaying. Again. After my husband Shane died agonisingly hoping the government would approve the new melanoma cancer drug, I thought the Minister for Health would at least listen then – but still they haven't acted.
Tony Abbott promised before coming to government they'd speed up this process. This drug has now been recommended. But now I'm worried even more people will die waiting for this cancer drug to be listed on the PBS.
It's cruel.
I'm not giving up though – I need help in showing the Health Minister that many people's lives are in the balance as she delays approving this listing.
If your loved one is in a similar situation to Shane was and needs this drug right now can you please contact me? I'm on shanesfightagainstmelanoma@gmail.com
Please also advise which state in australia you are located.
Thank you so much. I'm not giving up on this fight!

P.S. Please read the recent article about Ron Walker saying how important this drug is in the previous update - I really hope the government act quickly now!!
