A Plea For Help

There was a story in the news the other week about a young mum in Fife who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is terminally ill but there is a drug which can help ease her suffering - but which isn't yet available on the NHS. It's believed it will take another year for this to happen.

Diane Wishart doesn't have a year. She can get the treatment in Germany but not only does this mean great expense for her family but also - incredibly - the treatment she presently receives from the NHS in Scotland will cease. All Diane and her family want is for her final few months to be as peaceful as possible.

Diane's story and her family's website is below. If anyone wants to help please click the link to her website.
