Sarah, I remember the year I was dx this was freely available in Ireland and my own chemo nurses told me many nurses from the U.K arrived here to benefit from it. I met a lady on this site from Scotland who was stage iv, she arranged to sell her house and I set up an Onc her for her and some free medical care, the day after she arrived she had Herceptin
Glad to say she lived another two years, her story is posted here under "wishing to live to age 40", sad to see the U.K are still having an issue in paying for this drug all these years later
