Women make plea ahead of decision on breast cancer drug Kadcyla
6 March 2017 - A mother campaigning for a life-extending breast cancer drug to be made available on the NHS has said it seems "barbaric" to deny women the treatment.
The Scottish Medicines Consortium is due to take evidence on Kadcyla on Tuesday.
Lesley Graham is one of four women who, along with charity Breast Cancer Now, have launched a petition for it to be approved.
She told BBC Scotland it offered women like her "a little glimmer of hope".
