The NHS: Provide NHS funding for my Daughters cancer treatment

My 31 year old daughter has been battling cervical cancer for three years. After she was unresponsive to her latest treatment (chemotherapy) she started treatment with a new drug, Avastin. She saw immediate response to this drug, after just 3 months of the treatment a routine scan showed no measurable disease, her tumour had gone! Unfortunately this drug is not currently available on the NHS to treat cervical cancer and we are having to fund the treatment ourselves, this is a long term treatment but at a cost £2829 every three weeks privately funding this is not sustainable in the long term.

This treatment is funded by the NHS for other cancers and with the medical evidence we have, coupled with the high quality of life it has given my daughter, we need it to be funded for the treatment of my daughters cancer.
