Been back in hospital again having stage four terminal bone cancer is no fun, it use to be more good days than bad & now it's more bad than good. 200mg morphine a day with a top up of oramoph doesn't touch it sometimes, well mustn't grumble I'm still here trying to help others in the same position

Thank you Jenny for your post, sadly people seem to think iy never happen to them & can't spend 30 seconds to sign the petition petition, they can spend 2 minutes reading it. Well even if they don't sign it they can't say they don't know what will happen to them if diagnosed

Can we get one thing straight anyone diagnosed with a terminal illness & has less than 12 months to live is eligible for fast track benefits,in Scotland everyone diagnosed with a terminal illness is eligible & receives fast track benefits within 7 working days . Now can people see the difference
