Forget politics - I have terminal cancer , I have been treated by the NHS since 2007 when the fabulous surgeons at The Royal Marsden Hospital removed a 4 kg tumour.Sadly it came back 2 years ago and now I am on palliative chemotherapy ,my treatment could not have been better and that's all I have to say .If you have an ingrowing toe nail and feel a bit underwhelmed by your treatment then thats tough, get over it OR GO PRIVATE ! For 9 months I was on a trial drug that cost ?190 / day to the NHS and it didn't cost me a penny, had I had private health insurance it would have only covered me for 3 months on this drug hence I may not have been around to type this !
