Petition Fund more CAR T Cell Therapy for eligible patients
CAR T Cell therapy is currently allowed for some cancer patients on the NHS when other options have been unsuccessful. I think that people who are eligible should be offered it as a second line of treatment.
More details
I was diagnosed with Primary Mediastianal Non Hodgkin Lymphoma in pregnancy when I was 23 years old. I had a cancer that was 90% curable with first line treatment (chemo & radio) after brutal failed treatments for 2 years, I was finally eligible for Car T Cell therapy, which was so much easier on my body and got me into remission in 90 days. I believe if you fail chemotherapy & radiotherapy and are eligible for CAR-T, you should be allowed it next. Not put on trials and more toxic drugs.
