I don’t usually post things like this, but I need help. I have a blood cancer called essential thrombocythaemia. It’s been managed for years with an injection called Pegasys, one a month. Without it I’m at risk of blood clots and strokes. I’m 32, and I’ve got a wife and a little boy and a little one on the way. I’m British, I have a home in York, I pay my taxes and I’m registered with a GP. Because I travel abroad for work, the NHS decided I’m not “ordinarily resident” and stopped my treatment. I’ve tried everything. I emailed, I called, and I went to the hospital in person and asked for a meeting to talk about my options. I even offered to pay for it myself. The reply I got was to stop coming to the hospital without an appointment. So now I’m trying to find this medicine myself, somewhere I can afford it. One quote I had was £3,400 for a single injection. I can’t do that every month. I’ll travel anywhere: the UK, Europe, Asia. I just need a doctor who will see me and prescribe it. If you know a haematologist, a private clinic, or someone who’s been through something similar, please message me or tag them below. And if you can’t help directly, a share might get this to someone who can. Thank you for reading. It means more than you know. James
