I can't offer any advice but just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are going through this. I would contact Prof Harrison at Guys to see what she suggests.

Take care.

I would like to send good luck and warm wishes your way. I asked my doctor to refer me to Prof Harrison. As I am out of the area he said the only way he could do this was as a private patient. I went along with this but now see her once a year on the NHS. She is great. x x x
