We've just now been alerted to this thread and I've removed several posts.
The #1 rule here is 'Be supportive' and this is a topic area for people to get support with advanced and metastatic cancer. It's not an area for debate about who should and shouldn't be entitled to NHS treatment, and this is certainly not the conversation for it. There are other topic areas where members can start their own threads about just about anything they want.
The original poster came here seeking help and advice on how best to care for her father who has terminal cancer and is in constant pain – it's not supportive to subject her to pointed questions and admonitions and to use this thread to air political beliefs about the poster's personal situation. The replies here about what the original poster should do next for her father are helpful; the conversation about what she or her father should have done differently in the past is not, and I've removed it from that point regardless of what the individual post was.
Please everyone keep in mind the purpose of this space when replying to people seeing support, and if you see a post that needs attention from the moderators please help us out by clicking the exclamation mark to flag a post.
