Graham joined leading UK charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer’s call to make the issue of access to drugs a top priority, and help put breast cancer back on the agenda.
“Breast cancer is not yesterday’s problem; thousands of women in the UK are living with a diagnosis of secondary breast cancer, with incredibly limited treatment options. Research is developing treatments that can give women at the end of their lives more good quality time with their loved ones; we have a responsibility to ensure that there is a system that allows these pioneering new drugs to routinely reach patients who will benefit from them.
“In the UK, 12,000 women are still dying every year from breast cancer. That’s why I’ll be writing to the Prime Minister to urge him to take the lead on this issue, and help improve the lives of the thousands of women who are still affected by this disease.”
