Re: Can't the NHS help ? Exactly. This is a topic that makes me fume. My god daughter has a brain tumour, when it was discovered if proton therapy had been available in this country there's a very good chance she would've been cured now. The NHS only fund for a small percentage of kids with operable tumours to go to the states for this treatment. Lots of fundraising was done but in the meantime another tumour developed on her spine so she was no longer eligible for proton. After gruelling sessions of chemo and radiotherapy the brain tumour shrank and the one on the spine cleared all together. There are other factors now preventing her from going to the US but hopefully in time these issues will be dealt with and she'll be fit to go. Other children on the same ward at Sheffield Children's Hospital who would've stood a chance if proton therapy was available have died. It's a disgrace and makes me so angry and very upset. The things this poor little girl has gone through, the pain missing out on a normal childhood - its so unfair and unnecessary. Funding was put in place by the last Labour government for four centres to be built that do proton therapy. This is currently underway but the last I heard the current government had cut it back to two centres, one at Great Ormond Street and one at Christies in Manchester. When I read about funding going on breast enlargements and other unnecessary cosmetic procedures my blood boils. Also the amount that goes on health tourists, management fat cats etc etc.....
