I’d say this was good news to come home from. Well done to all who wrote to their MP in the summer about this.

Hiya I also wrote to my MP here in Southampton who kept me up to date with information from the Health Minister - he sent me a copy

Of the The final letter he received from the Health Minister regarding Ibrutinib being available now. Just shows if you have a good constituent MP they will support us.

Good news all round I think.

Happy Days

I had a letter from my Mp initially to say he was making enquiries. It will be interesting to see if I get a letter like yours soon.

Just shows what pressure can do! We had some influential people behind us, including the press, but it still needed constant pressure. Thanks to everyone who got engaged with this.

I’m appalled that my MP didn’t even bother to reply to my letter on this subject, not even when I re-sent it.

He won’t be getting our votes next time around! 😡
