Allow English men access to Abiratarone

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Grant NHS prescriptions for Abiratarone for men diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer

I was with stage 4 prostate cancer in July 2024. I will never be free of this awful condition. The best I can hope for, is it can controlled. One drug that could help is Abiratarone. This is available on prescription in Scotland and Wales. But not in England!

Why the hell not?

Many men in England are suffering from prostate cancer. If they were your family members. Would you not fight for their lives?
