Buxton paper thanked for helping cancer sufferer

The Buxton Advertiser has been thanked by the family and friends of a woman suffering from cancer who has won her campaign to be treated with a pioneering form of chemotherapy. Ethel Hallam's daughter, Louise, said the paper's coverage of her mother's plight "made a huge difference." Derbyshire County primary care trust had previously refused to give Ethel the drug, Alimta, but has changed its mind following publicity about the case. (Via Buxton Advertiser)
