Cancer Drugs fund annoucement UK 2 years extension

BBC NEWS 7.45 Cancer Drugs fund announced to continue for 2 extra years £400 Million set aside, so the fund continues, thanks to all that have battled. Good news at least for 2 years to sort a new fund hopefully. Nigel

Hi Nigel,
Yes this is good news- although some are against the CDF in principal. But for CML patients who need access to bosutinib, dasatinib and ponatinib it is a potential life saver.

Only puzzle is why the chose today (a Saturday) to announce it- given it is a good news story and the Tory conf. starts on Monday then we thought DC would take the opportunity to bask in anything that reflects well on this government.

thanks for putting up the link.
