The Good News.
After blood tests and a visit to the AME armed with a consultants report the man from the CAA Med Dept say yes!! Still have to copy them the results of future blood tests, (Initially 3 monthly then 6 monthly once the consultant is happy that I'm "Stable"). Hopefully getting back in the air this week.
The Bad News.
Just heard today that the NHS are going to cease funding for HIFU as it is too expensive and will only be done if "all other treatments have failed". The whole point of HIFU is that it works best on those caught early and can only be effective if it is the first treatment - the main advantage being that, if you have it and it doesn't work, it does not rule out any of the other treatments
Looks like I've been even luckier than even I thought! Thanks to all Ppruners who been supportive and to the Mods for un-locking the thread to enable me to post this.
Happy Christmas and a safe 2008.
