"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"When Gayle Bodinnar reached her 150th round of chemotherapy for her brain tumour, her daughters and husband celebrated, grateful for the treatment that was saving her life. Or so they thought. We were always told that the treatment was the reason mum was alive the more she had, the more we celebrated. We had Facebook posts when we marked 100 treatments, says her daughter Kimberley."
"When Ms Bodinnar's cancer was diagnosed, she was given a 20 per cent chance of living for two years. So we thought she wouldn't make 24 treatments, yet there she was on 100, Kimberley says. So then to find out that actually she probably would have lived a better life if she had had only six or 12 treatments was devastating."
The Independent covers evolving issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech by sending journalists to developing stories and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet avoids paywalls and relies on donations to fund reporters and investigations, including probes into the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC. Gayle Bodinnar received 150 rounds of temozolomide chemotherapy for a brain tumour and her family believed treatment was prolonging her life. More than 30 patients allege they were needlessly given temozolomide over two decades at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire, exceeding NHS protocol of six months and manufacturer guidance of up to 12 months.
