If you have the disease and would like to do an interview then please contact me, the aim is to give as much information to patients before they make their decisions, though of course you should always listen to your doctor. If you want to to be added you don't have to have had surgery or even any treatments just so long as you are willing to give honest answers to some questions it might help someone somewhere.

Note that these are interviews and that the opinions shown are of the interviewee not me, also that this is just one persons experience and everyone reacts differently to treatment but hopefully you find the information above useful.
