I am stage 4 with as my consultant has said, He has very aggressive rapidly castrate-resistant metastatic prostate cancer.
He has told me I will need Pluvicto now or in the very near future. We had applied to the Treatment Abroad Scheme as this treatment is not available yet in Ireland and were duly refused on the following grounds.
"The TAS does have the remit to fund drug therapies"
"The patient is attending as a private patient. The TAS covers public patients only"
The application was re-submitted and again declined and this time for different reasons. Any Ideas on what I should do next, Rgds Peter
