I got a lot of gripe for the way the NHS is funded and for some particular doctors i have seen pre and post diagnosis who had NO idea how to treat someone with my disease but thought they'd take a stab at it. I know these two issues are far apart.
£7 from every £100 i pay in tax goes to fund the NHS. It makes me mad to see people i know and people on this forum refused treatments like RTX because their Primary Care Trust feels its too expensive or ran out of money. A friend of mine who was 25 at the time was refused funding for a treatment and was told her next option was Cyclo - she wants to have children one day and so appealed and won and got her treatment in the end. I dont know how they can offer a woman of child bearing age a treatment that would take this from her. And all to save money.
