Herceptin Licence Extension
News that the drug Herceptin will be made available to all breast cancer sufferers. Good news, I hope, but I'm always wary of the apparent pressure to run into getting it approved and onto NHS lists. There's valid reason for testing and checking. Only a simple dig into the BBC site, or Google, brings out stories on how Herceptin could be linked to heart failure.
I hope that once this drug is approved and made available to all who need it, that it doesn't blow up into yet another wonder drug that actually kills more than the symptoms it's trying to cure.
