Hi Richard,

Thank you for taking up this cause. I am being treated in the UK, although self-funding, partly because I fall outside the six month period, but I have been very upset about this matter. And, of course, certain insurance companies are paying for it.

I know of at least one person with stage III breast cancer (inflammatory) who is getting it in London on the NHS, but I know of a woman who was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer while pregnant in Cambridge who is not getting it. You couldn't make this stuff up.

Anyway, I will draw attention to the fighting for herceptin campaign. I will do what I can to make UK patients aware of it.

Take care,
Christine
