I am so sorry to add to your inbox but I need to ask you to take a little time out of your day- no more than a minute or so- to please sign my petition........and help us make sure that people in the UK who, like me, have been diagnosed with a rare cancer called Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia, be allowed access to the 3 most effective therapies that control this rare cancer.
These 3 drugs allow over 90% of CML patients to live long and healthy lives, continue to work, pay taxes, grow up, get jobs, start families, go to college, university, pay taxes, see their children have children, live to be grandparents, wives, husbands, brothers, sisters, mums, dads, cousins.... friends. This is unprecedented in the history of cancer therapy.
Yes it is true that these drugs are costly - but so are the wider social costs of untimely deaths from this vicious disease.
Everyone has the right to expect live their normal life span and these drugs are the first examples of the coming era of targeted molecular therapy.
CML is a rare cancer of the blood cells that is effectively tamed by this kind of revolutionary therapy.
Don't let cancer patients die needlessly just because a few bankers have been allowed to line their own pockets.
Please click on the link below and sign this petition as a private individual, then forward this email to all your contacts and ask them to sign up by May 27th.
Thank you for your support,
