TDM-1 petition to Dr. Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Huma
I am subscribed to this petition site. they are looking for more people to sign up to try to Get approval prior to 2013.
After giving us the runaround for months, Sec. Sebelius ' Office finally got back to us about a meeting to discuss Our Petition. They said NO ! They do not wish to " escalate this issue further ". Escalate ? They have done nothing ! We told them that this decision to deny us a meeting reflects poorly on Secretary Sebelius and her office. Ignoring 7,000 Citizens requesting a hearing to discuss this life and death issue. This FDAs' denial of Herceptin T DM-1 to Stage IV Cancer Patients, for the past 2 years ! E-mail seth.h.wainer@hhs.gov and christie.hager@hhs.gov and keri.kohler@hhs.gov Tell them how you feel ! Give us the Hearing we deserve ! Pass on the Petition !
