The BBC's One Show explores cutting-edge treatments for pancreatic cancer, a disease getting an intense spotlight due to revelations that actor Patrick Swayze and Apple CEO Steve jobs are suffering from the disease. Psivida's Brachysil are among the high-tech treatments explored.
Here in the US all the cancer treatments in the world don't matter if you don't have any health insurance, like I don't. Then it's 'get lost' by the doctors and hospitals. Fifty million uninsured people in this country hear that phrase every day. Such a shame. I have a friend with thyroid cancer who is uninsured and can't get medical help unless she comes in with insurance or $100K to pay for the ultrasound, biopsy and surgery. So sad.
