Nadia Sawalha goes topless outside Parliament in a bold statement for breast cancer as presenter campaigns for 'game-changing' drug


The Loose Women panelist, 59, joined a group of 31 women, all of whom have been affected by the disease, to campaign for a 'game-changing' new drug.

An NHS spokesperson said: 'NHS England expected drug companies AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo to offer this treatment at a price that would enable Nice to recommend its use for patients with secondary breast cancer. 'We are deeply disappointed that AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo have not been willing to price this treatment to enable approval, therefore denying NHS patients the opportunity to access this latest advance in care.' 'This sits extremely uncomfortably and we call on NICE to reverse this decision and expedite an urgent review of their disease severity modifier, in this case it clearly isn't working in the interests of patients.'
