Good luck to you Joan, I do hope they get you onto a good treatment plan and you start to feel better soon. Your lovely boy Buster will be over the moon to have you back home which I hope will be soon. Keep us updated on the phage therapy alot of very interested people on here. Hugs x

Do let usknow what the con says about the phage therapy. I had a letter from my con yesterday( copied to my GP) to say that following a conversation with me she is discussing this with her colleagues as of course, it is not licensed in this country.

Good luck about the phage therapy Majt

Dear me Joan, I forgot to say that I hope that you will soon be better and what a sweetie your dog is. My little dog has been glued to my side since I had a tooth out 2 days ago. Aren’t they just the best.

Update on Pnemonia and consultant

I have seen consultant and they have found a bug in my blood culture keeping me in to continue intravenous antibiotics.

I have had a conversation with consultant about phage therapy he had not heard of it.

I asked to email him information about lhage and he has agreed. RESULT !

I asked if I could trial it in uk .fingers crossed x
