British Columbia - govt stopped funding for herceptin?

[Merridith]

Hi everyone:

I just got an email from a friend saying that the BC provincial government has just stopped funding herceptin.

Has anyone else heard anything about this? Is it true?

Is it for all cases of HER2 +++ or just early stage?

Regards,

Gee, BC was the province to fund herceptin, it seems odd that they would quit as evidence of the benefits just gets stronger.

Hmmmmm. I'm starting to get further hints that H has been cut off in BC.

If someone reading this is from BC and they have been denied herceptin, please drop a note into my inbox.

Reporters are interested in making a story out of this.
