Dying mum begs NHS to keep cancer drug free so she can live to see son go to school
5 January 2017 - Dying Bonnie Fox, 39, was diagnosed with secondary cancer in July 2015 only four months after her son Barnaby was born.
A mum with an incurable cancer has begged the NHS to continue to offer a revolutionary drug free of charge so she can live long enough to see her son go to school.
Dying Bonnie Fox, 39, was diagnosed with secondary cancer in July 2015 only four months after her son Barnaby was born.
She is currently on two drugs to target her cancer, in her breast, bones and liver, but when they stop working, the only strong medication she would be able to use for her vicious cancer is Kadcyla.
She says she knows other mums who have had a "relatively normal" quality of life while taking the "remarkable" drug for two to three years.
