Has anyone appealed to get a drug that they do not normally qualify through the Cancer Drugs Fund for - using an Independent Patient Funding Request?
My oncologist has just appealed on my behalf - I need perjeta but my secondary was diagnosed six weeks earlier than the 12 month gap required between primary treatment finishing and secondary being diagnosed. It was only found by accident so if I had waited for symptoms it would have been 12 months. My oncologist said she’s never had a request accepted by these people!!
