Nhs immunotherapy funding

I have stage 4 lung cancer which has been kept stable by maintenance immunotherapy. I have received this every 3 weeks for over 2 years with minimum side affects. I have scan every 3 months showing my tumour is stable and even shrunk by 5cm in my August scan. I was then told that I had reached the maximum funding that nhs would provide for immunotherapy and my treatment was stopped. I am absolutely devastated and feel totally disregarded being told I will still receive 3 monthly scans and telephone consultation but no treatment!!! I could accept my treatment ending if it was not working but am finding it very difficult to accept because of funding, is there any way I can fight thos and get extended funding?
