Please do not cut Brentuximab Vedotin from the drugs fund.
Why is this important?
This drug is the only drug to be added for Hodgkin's Lymphoma for over 40 years. It has a proven efficacy and helps save lives of the young people affected by Hodgkin's Lymphoma who have failed primary, harsh chemotherapy.
It was the only drug which got our daughter into remission after 7 years of ever-increasing toxicity. It opened the window she needed to get through a donor bone marrow transplant, and she is now well after 10 years struggling against this cancer.
This blood cancer typically attacks young people, in their teens and twenties, who if saved, will go on to pay the taxes this country needs to survive!
