Cheers for your reply sabrecat.
Completely agree on the taking personal control (now that we are blessed to have the tools to do so) Yes why the hell not have the choice to take the power of a potentual cure into our own hands, if it exists! And the fact that a company would actively prevent people from accessing that cure is pretty despicable. Hello corporatism lol
Glad to hear you came out the other end with a positive outcome and RPA gave you the help to do it. More fortunate than others have been in some areas for sure, with more uninformed and resistant bits of the medical profession, but you’re right in saying that its a task and a half for GPs to be on top of all developments, not least enough that they feel able to take patients on in an untested scenario. Just glad the hospital seems amenable. I will get onto one of the nursing staff and lay all the current cards on the table – hopefully I can start treatment by the roughly assigned timeframe.
Fingers crossed
