My worry now that herceptin (except for brain mets) and tykerb will not be available in Britain for advanced bc is that this will reduce the incentive for drug companies to progress research and thereby reduce the chances of cure.What feels even more unacceptable is the refusal of the Government to take up the offer of free provision of these drugs and payment for them only if they are effective.Women who are currently receiving herceptin for ad bc are to have this withdrawn and will only receive a chemotherapy drug on it's own.Incidentally there is only one cyberknife in Britain and this is at a private clinic! Hang on in there in the States,we need to beat this.
