Brystkræftforeningen

Tak til alle jer, der allerede nu har fulgt vores opfordring - Vi er GODT PÅ VEJ. ... og du kan stadig være med....

This is what keeps us up at night. It makes no sense. We have ALL political parties in Canada in agreement that the national #breastscreening guidelines are dangerous and yet NO ACTION is being taken to save the lives of Canadian women. Grateful to The Hill Times for publishing our Op-Ed. As always your voice is needed. Ours is just one - please consider emailing Minister Mark Holland to tell him action is needed hcminister.ministresc@hc-sc.gc.ca You can read the op-ed here https://tr.ee/xZ8bQd1nJ0

”For mig er det lidt et tveægget sværd” Sådan siger Heidi om måden, vi taler om brystkræft på i dag. På den ene side, påpeger hun, så giver det tryghed, når man får diagnosen første gang, at høre om andre, der er blevet kræftfri. På den anden side, erfarer hun, at man let kan føle sig udenfor og som en fiasko, hvis man er én af de tusind kvinder i Danmark, der oplever, at kræften spreder sig og ikke kan helbredes. Dem hører vi nemlig sjældent om. Men Heidi er ikke alene. Derfor lavede vi sidste år en kampagne i samarbejde med Brystkræftforeningen. I kampagnen fortæller danske kvinder modigt, hvordan de lever med brystkræft, der har spredt sig. Kvinderne ønsker absolut ikke at tage håbet fra nogen. De ønsker at hjælpe andre, der føler sig alene med sygdommen.

Debatten om dansk godkendelse af nye EMA godkendte lægemidler til behandling af brystkræft er ikke slut. Her til morgen d. 13. oktober 2024, var Brystkræftforeningens formand, Anja Skjoldborg Hansen, i TV2 for at give indblik i foreningens holdning til, at et lægemiddel sacituzumab govitecan til behandling af lokalt fremskreden eller metastatisk triple-negativ brystkræft endnu ikke er godkendt til standardbehandling i Danmark. Regionerne har mulighed for at lave en individuel vurdering af de personer, der af lægerne indstilles til at få det pågældende lægemiddel og andre tilsvarende lægemidler, som endnu ikke er godkendt til standardbehandling. "Men denne mulighed fungerer ikke," siger Anja Skjoldborg Hansen til TV2 Grundlaget for interviewet i TV2, er historien om en kræftramt kvinde, der selv betaler for at få denne behandling i Norge - læs her: https://lnkd.in/drPqPjK9
