A WOMAN with terminal breast cancer has criticised a decision to stop offering a 'miracle drug' which could prolong the lives of sufferers.

Pam Morgan, 55, of Green Road, Dodworth, has just completed her sixth cycle (19 weeks) of the chemotherapy Eribulin.

But NHS England announced on Monday the drug would not be available in future because it is not cost effective.

She said: "I understand the cost issues, but it is terrible for people with breast cancer to be denied a drug that could extend their lives."

Pam is now encouraging people to sign an online petition to get the matter discussed in parliament.
