Hulk 111 - Hello there fellow Hodgkins person. I am a fixed and rotary ATPL and currently undergoing chemo. I have spoken at length with Dr Sally Evans - Chief Aeromedical Adviser CAA regarding probability, clinical and statistical issues related to our misfortune. I have some useful info'. The important issue seems to be the anthracycline drug use. 'These boys' - are cardiotoxic and can cause Ventricular enlargement and/or arythmia (don't check spelling). If these problems present themselves Class 1 medicals can prove difficult to get.

I would be glad to correspond by email if you like to go into more detail. I hope you are well and wish you all the best.

I'm off for a slice of Chemo on toast today, so tonight won't be party night.

Look forward to hearing from you

A
