NICE Tarceva hearing 6th June

[Deanne Jenkyns]

Hiya All,
there is a NICE hearing on the 6th of June in London and I have managed to secure a seat. I cannot believe I got one because they are very limited and only a select few can attend only 25 places available, including consultees and commentators, I emailed them before I went away and told them I wanted to attend to represent the members on lc-action for life, and said a little about my campaign. Members of the press will be attending so If it is knocked back I will be doing my best to make myself heard. So I have booked the hotel and Train. Will be going down the night before and returning after the hearing.


Take care all,
Deanne

Well done on getting a place!! I am sure you will make yourself heard and look forward to hearing all about it, especially how this organisation works "on our behalf?" Are they reviewing their earlier decision on Tarceva?
