I’ve just read of another unnecessary death by a Melanoma sufferer - who like my husband Shane, died waiting for the Health Minister to approve KeyTruda Melanoma drug on the PBS. It’s so disgraceful how Australia has the highest Melanoma rate but our government does’t provide access to the best treatment! The need for change is desperate. How can our government continue to knowingly let the lives of loved ones be cut so short? We need Health Minister Sussan Ley to immediately approve KeyTruda for the PBS before another preventable death. Courier Mail article- http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/national/why-the-melanoma-capital-of-the-world-faces-a-deadly-wait-for-a-drug-that-saves-lives/story-fntzoymg-1227404593838 Please post the above article’s link (as a comment) to the Minister’s Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/SussanLeyMP?fref=ts I cannot bring back my husband Shane, but I’ll be dammed if I let this government ignore the need to save the lives of other Melanoma patients. Thank you, Dannii,
