Welsh cancer patient denied life-extending drug
"I just want more time to live"
Rachel Davies, 40, from Swansea, was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in 2021. The disease has since spread to her bones, back, pelvis and neck.
She has been denied a life-extending drug because she lives in Wales.
The drug, called Enhertu, can give patients with a specific type of incurable breast cancer an extra six months to live on average.
It is available in Scotland, as well as 19 other countries in Europe, but not in Wales, England or Northern Ireland because the health assessment body, NICE, said it was too expensive for the NHS to fund.
