Be careful what you ask for

I asked Helen, Chaz's good friend who happens to be an NHS doctor, to check with a teaching hospital in the UK that has tested using a leukemia treatment to cure MS. Would they treat an American, outside of a study? It turns out that yes, they would, if I pass their preliminary tests.

Um.

They sent a letter with a list of what they need to know (and how much it will cost, though the pound was at $1.325 yesterday, so that's something). I about to call to get an appointment with my neurologist.

I could barely sleep last night. My head is spinning, making plans. Because if I just have a plan I won't freak out. Entirely.

It's the leukemia chemo. I'm in better shape than most leukemia patients, though, since MS is just a slow paralysis (which eventually leads to death, just...slowly). I've heard the science is better on the liver toxicity front, though.
