vivdunstan: Photo of me from Melrose Grammar School plus NHS thanks (nhs)
This year marks 10 years since I had a summer of gruelling chemotherapy infusions in Ninewells Hospital. I finally demanded the strongest treatment that my consultant had ruled out for the previous 14 years for various reasons, and he agreed. I’ll be sharing some memories of that time in the coming year. It stabilised my life-threatening neurological condition, allowing me to lower my daily drug cocktail. But my disease is still progressing a decade on, but more slowly than it would have done without that treatment. I’d have that chemotherapy treatment again without hesitation if I needed it a second time. But I am glad it is behind me.
