Family seek to raise money for lung cancer drug
29 May 2023 - A family has raised £12,000 to pay for a cancer drug for their mother, which was not available to her on the NHS.
Elaine Lynch, 58, from Dorridge, West Midlands, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021 and it has since spread.
She was told a drug called Enhertu was needed to target her mutation, known as HER2, but it is not approved for NHS use for lung cancer patients.
Her family said it was an "injustice" and they will need to find £9,040 every three weeks to pay for it privately.
