A decision on the future of breast cancer services in Brighton and Hove will go to the wire.
No formal recommendation has been made to a joint Brighton and Hove City and Mid Sussex Primary Care Trust board meeting next Friday.
Members are being asked to choose one of three options outlined in board papers released today.
The first is for a new unit to be built at the Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath, to provide services for patients in Mid Sussex and Brighton and Hove.
The second is to have a new unit at the Princess Royal with an outreach service at the Nigel Porter Unit at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.
The third is for a unit on the Rosaz House site next to the Royal Sussex which would work with the existing Princess Royal unit.
More than 30,000 people signed a petition backed by The Argus calling for cancer services to stay in the city.
Dozens of campaigners from the city will be going to Friday's meeting after Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company boss Roger French agreed to let them use one of his coaches. The meeting starts at 9am.
