Kadcyla/TDM1/Super Herceptin please sign our petition to the UK government

This is one of the drugs that has just been taken off the Cancer Drugs Fund list not because its ineffective but because of cost. This amazing drug targets HER2 cancer cells using Herceptin then uses a traditional chemo to kill them. Please sign our petition to reinstate this and all the other cancer killing drugs the government has just cut to save a minimal amount of money compared to the NHS overall budget, while they are happy to prioritise all sorts of arguable causes. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/107548
