I have read all your posts about 10 times, and cried the same amount of times...... Richard was diagnosed while we were in the USA,(we spend 4 months a year here sometimes 6) we paid for everything ourselves, vacation insurance does not cover it as he could have flown back to the UK.
But he wanted to be treated straight away, no waiting, no repeating tests, and to tell you the truth I agreed with him....still do....it was the right thing to do at the time.
But it is time to go back to the UK and carry on treatment there.
Can anyone recommened a good max fax Doctor either in Staffordshire or Derbyshire?
All the best
Sammie
