Hi, my name is Richard Ault and I am an English journalist working on the Sentinel, an evening newspaper based in Stoke, Staffordshire, UK.
I am working on a run of stories with a group of ladies who all have Her2 breast cancer. They have all been told that they could benefit from treatments with Herceptin, but under English law, they cannot receive the treatment until it has been given a licence, which will not be until next July at the earliest.
The ladies are all very determined to force a change in the law and will be visiting 10 Downing Street on Thursday, September 22, to hand in a petition to Prime Minister Tony Blair.
They need all the help that they can get and I have been running a newspaper campaign supporting their efforts.
I am appealing to you all because it would help their cause if I could put an article in my paper about how different the treatment is in America and how herceptin is prescribed for early stage cancer and the benefits it has had.
If you could email me your stories and how Herceptin has beneifited you, it would be a great help to me. My email address is
richard.ault@thesentinel.co.uk. If you would like to visit the ladies' website, it is
www.fightingforherceptin.org.uk
Thank you very much for your time,
Richard
