Very sorry to hear about this Davy. It's disgraceful that you can't get the healthcare. We often moan about our NHS here in the UK, but at least we do get some free care - it's put things into perpspective for me as I'm suffering from a long-term illness at the moment & unable to work.

One thing I would say, don't take your prognoses as gospel. Western medicine rules out 'miracles' but they can/do happen. As someone else posted, Dirk Benedict is living proof of this. Change diets, and more importantly (and hard to do, I realise) try your very best to be positive and say to yourself, "I'm not going to let this get the better of ME". Fight it. Science does begrudgingly concede that there is a link between your mental wellbeing, and your physical. So arm yourself with that knowledge.

Wishing you all the very best, and I'll go make a donation now.

Diet & positive thinking, plus all the good vibes being sent your way from this forum - you'll make it ;)
