Can you please help by signing a petition to support Mark Bannister, an ex British soldier who has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour (Glioblastoma).
Mark is 37yrs old and has been married to Karen for 10 years, they have 2 young children. Mark served for 10 years in the Army and completed several tours in Northern Ireland & Bosnia as part of the 1st Battalion Worcestershire & Sherwood Forrestors Regiment (now called the Mercian Regiment).
Since his diagnosis in 2003, Mark has battled so hard and his doctors in Sheffield have treated him for several brain tumours very successfully.
But now
his Consultant Oncologist wants to prescribe Avastin, a cancer drug, for Mark.
But his local Health Authority have refused him.
If he lived a few miles away in a neighbouring Health Authority he would ROUTINELY receive NHS funding for Avastin the cancer drug his doctor wants to prescribe for him.
Another classic case of the postcode lottery, made even more poignant by how very close Mark lives to the neighbouring Health Authority ( just 8 miles away).
Mark & Karen have set up a petition to campaign for his treatment, we would like as many people as possible to sign his petition and show support for Marks case.
