Gordon Brown
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
To be told you have secondary breast cancer, which is terminal
How would you feel?
Especially if you had fought and battled breast cancer in the past and had enjoyed 2 years of blissful remission?
How would you feel?
To know that there were drugs available that could potentially prolong and enhance the quality of the time you have remaining?
How would you feel?
To be told, Sorry Mrs Wishart, you don't qualify for the drugs that could prolong and enhance your life.
How would you feel?
Mr Brown,could you watch your wife, daughter, mother or grandmother go through this turmoil when you had the power within your grasp to change that persons life forever?
How do I feel?
Disgusted
Inconsolable
Shocked
Gutted
Unprepared
Saddened
Terrified
Exasperated
Determined.
Would you Fight for the right to be treated with the best possible drugs available, or just sit back and wait for death to come knocking on your door.
You do not have the right to decide whether I should die now or in a few months time.
You do not have the right to play GOD for your political gain and your parties popularity.
You do not have the right to tell me if I raise some money to fund the treatment myself that you will then stop all NHS help.
What is the price of a human life these days Mr Brown?
What price would you pay for one last day with your family?
What would you sacrifice Mr Brown to help Diane Wishart spend a few more precious months with her husband and daughters?
And finally why would you not want to help? Unlike you I do not have time on my side to wait for a decision. I need it now, today.... so I can have tomorrow.
