I open my eyes to discover Matt Damon is a local and the media are reporting seismic activity and ground vibrations...
Have I woken up in California? 😳

It’s not all #badnews maybe through contact tracing we might finally find out how many children #BorisJohnson has!

It looks like that without a second general election Fine Gael have been re-elected!

They may not be perfect but there ours and we’re glad we don’t have that shower across the pond.

Pembro (Keytruda) has been approved by the European Medical Agency for head and neck cancer but the Irish government dragging their heals to approve it. I am forced to fundraise to save my life. https://t.co/ud8O5nl4rn

@SimonHarrisTD @SKyriakidesEU @ThierryBreton @EU_Health @roinnslainte @merrionstreet @LeoVaradkar @FineGael @hpscireland @HSELive @IrelandRepBru @EPinIreland @ECDC_EU While in Brussels, please can you do a quick survey of your EU Health colleagues to see 'Who has Licenced Keytruda for treatment of Head & Neck Cancers?'

Why is Ireland not pushing forward EMA authorisations?

Stage4Cancer patients like @MariaWatersDub cant wait.

[Maria Waters @MariaWatersDub]

@EU_Health My story is that I am now in my third bout of oesophagul cancer. My consultant has said I need Pembrolizumab but the Irish health authority @HSELive will not pay for this drug neither will my private health insurer @irishlifehealth I am forced to pay almost 8k per month.

[Maria Waters @MariaWatersDub]

I have set up a gofundme account, I hope people can help. Thank you. https://t.co/jdD2rsTqZH

[Maria Waters @MariaWatersDub]

Thank you @ExtraIRL for highlighting my fight to get the life saving drug pembrolizumab. Please share, we need to keep the fight going to get this drug approved for ALL cancer types!

@AOShaughnessy36 @PhelanVicky @ProfJohnCrown @SimonHarrisTD @INFO_NCPE @1xWaters Yes, but I'm only one person and also dealing with the awful chemo etc right now, @1xWaters and I are fighting as hard as we can, but we need the country behind us. It may be too late for me, but we need to change this travesty in the HSE and the NCPE.

[Maria Waters @MariaWatersDub]

As far back as 2016 @ProfJohnCrown has been calling for a fasttrack approval for #pembrolizumab. Why isn't Minister @SimonHarrisTD doing anything to approve this life-saving drug. Get the HTA done now and #savelives https://t.co/mxIvRRDHk2

Medicines regulators urged to approve drug #pembrolizumab to treat head and neck cancer.
Thank you ⁦@IrishTimes⁩ for keeping the pressure on.

@MorenaMagnanini @1xWaters @INFO_NCPE Unfortunately I cannot because of my family situation, the drug is given every 3 weeks along with chemotherapy for a week so it would be very difficult for me to travel once a month. Thanks.

[Maria Waters @MariaWatersDub]

My husband @1xWaters has emailed the @INFO_NCPE to ask about the immunotherapy drug #Pembrolizumab. No reply as yet. #pembroforall

[Maria Waters @MariaWatersDub]

This is an audio link of my husband's interview on East Coast FM Yesterday about my battle to get the life saving cancer drug #pembrolizumab approved by the HSE and @irishlifehealth who are refusing to pay for my treatment.

[Maria Waters @MariaWatersDub]

Looks like our fight to speed up the process for drug approval is getting somewhere. Why is Ireland one of the slowest in Europe?

Thank you Declan for allowing Robert to come on the show this morning to talk about the disparity in the health service when it comes to this much needed cure for my cancer.

On the line, @radiodeclan is joined by Robert Waters whose wife Maria has advanced head and neck cancer.
They have been forced to pay almost €40,000 to fund a potentially life-saving treatment “Pembro”, which is available for free to cervical cancer patients.
