Ian McKay Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Posted December 2, 2011 Anna has received support from Lindsay Roy, Labour MP for Glenrothes and Central FifeA NURSE is being denied treatment that could prolong her life - because she has the WRONG kind of cancer. Anna Flaws, 49, was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus last November. Her doctor applied for her to receive the drug Herceptin - but Scottish health chiefs turned her down. Yesterday, the mum-of-one from Leven, Fife, said: "If I had breast cancer I would automatically get Herceptin. "People had to fight to get the drug for breast cancer patients and I think it's wrong for the NHS to differentiate between different types of cancer. "You should get whatever treatment you need. "I feel I'm being discriminated against just because I have a rarer form of cancer. "If I lived in England, I'd receive the drugs for free." Anna is now trying to raise around £15,000 to pay for the drugs she needs. She said: "I was diagnosed last November and given around nine months to live - but I'm still here. "My oncologist said I might be suitable for Herceptin. "I underwent various tests and it was found I'm high in the Her 2 hormone, which is a requirement for the drug to be effective." But the request was rejected by NHS Fife and the Scottish Medicines Consortium, a panel of experts who advise on the effectiveness of medicines. Anna said: "They both gave the same reason - basically that it was too dear and the benefits weren't great enough. "However, I'm very young to have cancer of the oesophagus. "I don't feel ill and I've got nothing else wrong with me, so the drug would help. I've now forked out around £6500 but there's no way I can afford to pay £15,000 for the full treatment - and I'd then have to pay for as long as I lived." Anna added: "I always believed if something ever went wrong with my health, the NHS would treat me. "This is just about money - why else would they refuse to fund it? "I feel like asking the NHS for my contributions back." Lindsay Roy, Labour MP for Glenrothes and Central Fife, said: "I want to know why Herceptin is available for breast cancer patients but not those with cancer of the oesophagus - and why it is available in England and not Scotland. "It's a scandal that this woman can't get this treatment on the NHS just because she lives in Scotland. "This is a lady who has dedicated her life to improving the health and well-being of other people through the NHS over many years - yet when she needs help herself, she is turned down." A Scottish government spokeswoman said last night: "Scotland has robust and transparent arrangements for the introduction of newly licensed clinically and cost-effective medicines to treat all conditions, including cancer, through the Scottish Medicines Consortium and Healthcare Improvement Scotland. "Both operate independently from the Scottish government. "Where the SMC does not recommend a medicine for routine use, NHS boards are not expected to make it routinely available. "NHS boards have arrangements in place for clinical consideration of SMC 'not recommended' medicines in certain circumstances. "Such clinical decisions are taken on a case-by-case basis." Anna and Lindsay Roy, MP
