Woman denied cancer drug on NHS which could extend her life because of where she lives
22 January 2020 - Ann, 64, can't get the drug she needs to survive because it's not available on the NHS in her area.
When Ann Kelk was diagnosed with stage 2 bowel cancer last year, she was optimistic that doctors would be able to treat it.
