I was shocked to hear tonight on the news about a cancer treatment that can help people dying from cancer live longer.........it is used in Europe and the USA but apparently it has not been allowed over here because it only prolongs life for a couple more months (i.e. 6months to live it will give 8 months to live) our goverment say that it is not cost effective and if it gave a few more months on the drug expentancy then they would take it on and it would be more cost efficient what..I for one think that this is shocking and disgusting...DO OUR GOVERMENT CARE THEY ARE CUTTING SHORT PEOPLES LIVES AND TIME THEY COULD HAVE WITH THEIR FAMILIES...[SAD] I for one am appalled by this news.

Me too. But hey costs again isn't it. People's feelings don't come into it. They're very proactive in treating cancer over here for both the terminal and non-terminal cases.
