How can the NHS play lottery with who recieves what care? - macular degeneration injection
My grandfather was diagnosed with wet macular degeneration, and was told that unless blindly go Avastin injections.
However, the NHS has refused to pay for treatment. The drug costs £ 700 per injection, and you will need to complete at least nine prevent blindness.
Even if we're lucky, a family is ready, a chip in the treatment and have the depth of my concern, all the others out there who need this drug, but who do not pay for it.
AMD can lead to blindness in just three months, but can be reversed with prompt treatment.
Please join this group if you should have the NHS pay for Avastin - Drugs and rescue cancer feel - and share their stories.

It is truly regrettable. I'm sorry, your grandfather. You're lucky to be a family as large and generous.
But let me go on my soapbox and say that is why I do not want socialized medicine in the United States. They pay more than the average worker pay in the United States a year of family coverage.
