Grandad Refused Avastin Treatment on the NHS

My grandad has been diagnosed with wet macular degeneration and has been told he will go blind unless he has injections of avastin.

However, the NHS have refused to pay for his treatment. The drug costs £700 per injection and he will need at least nine to prevent total blindness.

Whilst we are fortunate enough to have a big family willing to chip in and fund his treatment my concern is all the others out there who need this drug but don't have the means to pay for it.

AMD can lead to blindness in as little as three months, but it can be reversed with prompt treatment.

Please join this group if you feel the NHS should be paying for avastin - also a life-saving anti-cancer drug - and share your stories.
