Agree Disagree Don't know Don't care

I think that: I cannot type down how strongly I feel about this. How very very Sad.

Because: The same NHS trust which Jane Tomlinson was raising cancer funds for; denied her the drugs that could have helped her live longer.

It's sad for Jane and family, of course, but are you saying it was the wrong decision?

The irony of it, I_may do nothing for cancer fund raising and could be saved by this woman’s efforts. She was dying they would not help her. NHS misguided funding.

Yes, but what's your opinion?

If your cancer was more likely to respond to treatment, it could still have been the right decision. Or do you think a rich person who donated lots of money to cancer charity should receive priority treatment too?

Rich poor al the same

In Jane’s case, the family thought it would have helped her. All treatment should be equal, but reality suggests, administration and funding gets in the way. Her case was special in my opinion.
