From Tanja Loeb @ LFC:
Tim,
Thanks so much for your time this morning. I am so glad that we will be able to work together to get the urgent issue of rituxan retreatment funding in Ontario brought to light. As you know, there are people right now in need of treatments that can save their lives who are not able to get it due to the funding inequity that exists in Ontario. We are grateful that the Executive Office is working on the issue, and we are very interested in doing anything that we can to support Rituxan being brought into their new Evidence Building Program.
We are very committed to supporting lymphoma patients and families/caregivers who have asked for help in bringing awareness to this issue, and as part of this support, we know that we need to find out who they are. We have already had people contact us for support, and the more people we can connect with, the more we can work together to bring “faces” to the issue, and to advocate and highlight its urgency.
Tim, thank you for your willingness to reach out to your networks and encourage other patients to contact us so that we can help to gain access for Rituxan Retreatment in Ontario.
