Cancer sufferer refused treatment trial in NHS 'postcode lottery' - Telegraph
Heather Parkinson, 27, from Preston, said NHS Central Lancashire kept her waiting for 13 weeks as they considered whether to pay £3,000 for a trial of CD25 targeted radiotherapy at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
However, they eventually decided not to fund the treatment, which could successfully treat her Hodgkin's lymphoma, because it is "not licensed".
