gavinModeratorHi Hazel,
Welcome to the site. Sorry that I missed your post. Sorry that you had to find us as well but glad that you have joined as you are so in the best place for support and help and you and your daughter will get a load of that here from everyone.
I too am from the UK, up here in Dundee and my dad was diagnosed and treated here in Dundee with PDT back in 2008. You said that your daughter sought a second opinion from the Christie in manchester, was it Prof Valle that she saw? If so then he is very very experienced in dealing with CC and indeed sits on our medical advisory board here at the CCF. He has also treated quite a few of the UK members here on the site.
Did you hear back from Helen again? I agree with what Marion says about Helen, she is a star!
Please keep on coming back here Hazel and keep us updated with everything. We are here for you and your daughter and we care.
My best wishes to you both,
Gavin
gavinModeratorDear Janet,
I am so very sorry indeed to hear of the passing of your beloved Jim. Please accept my sincere condolences. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family right now.
Hugs,
Gavin
gavinModeratorHi Jack,
Great to hear from you again and thanks for the update on everything. Hope that you were able to have a great Christmas and it does sound like a busy one you had! Great stuff! Hmmm, top of the table indeed. Quite a season this is turning out to be. Leicester, who would have thought of that!
All the best,
Gavin
gavinModeratorHi Mac,
That sounds like a good plan and I do like how you are being proactive in all of this. The more treatment options you can find the better for your dad. Helen will be a great help to you with recommendations should your dad wish to seek treatment here in the UK somewhere.
Slaying the beat, yep, right up for that plan! Please let us know how everything goes.
My best to you and your dad,
Gavin
