They were saying Canada was doing a clinical trial. Those are usually provided free of charge because they are part of the development process for a particular treatment. The down side is they are not guaranteed to work and not guaranteed to be safe, but if you're going to die anyways, you can opt to take that risk.
Also, in cases like these, where there is a lot publicity, raising money from the public starts to become quiet viable and some doctors and hospitals even offer to provide treatment at reduced cost or for free (they cover it themselves) on humanitarian grounds.
And it's not guaranteed she would have gotten a place in the trial.
That's a good point that it's relatively easy to fundraise.
I've been reading all the articles I can find about this and I don't understand why she and her family didn't take matters in their own hands instead of waiting for the doctors in the UK to do it for her.
Some of the articles make it seem like she was on some version of house arrest under palliative care. But from other articles and what an Anon from the UK who has been following this story says, she could have left at any time.
So the question still is, why didn't she and her family pursue this avenue on their own?
Thanks for giving us the information regarding the clinical trials. It helps to have someone who is in the business correct those of us who are just assuming the way things are.
