"We need to have a much stronger “right to try” presumption"

Quite.

I'm now four years older than my mother was when she passed away after two really exciting years. I can't remember the exact description of the killer but "squamous" was involved. Radio, chemo, surgery bordering on butchery etc. Bout one seemed to be in remission and all clear sounded only to be rescinded a few months later, second run was a negative outcome. Faith healer for a laugh "but you never know" - mum wasn't daft but when you are out of reasonable options, you might as well invent a few more!

However, there is still hope whilst breathe still flows and there is absolutely nothing wrong with hoping for a miracle. They do sometimes happen. Keep fighting and kicking and being a pain and only give up when it is obviously hopeless.

Love you too. Take care.
