PAYMENT IN FULL REQUIRED BY THE DAY BEFORE (THANK YOU BRISTOL SPIRE HOSPITAL FOR THE EXTENSION)
I WILL NOT BE CURED AFTER THIS OPERATION, I WILL BE FREE OF THE MESH SO MY BODY HAS HALF A CHANCE WITH FUTURE TREATMENT.
ORIGINAL STORY
ITS A VERY LONG STORY but the NHS cancelled my mesh removal at the last minute in April of this year because they have do not have the Surgeons available to deal with the NHS CRISIS AND ITS VICTIMS.
I have always worked hard and I was a valuable member of society. I used to be so happy, full of life, running around looking after my family and huge number of animals
Then my health problems started and I had no idea what was going on until the news of the Medical Mesh Failure Scandal broke on TV.
You may know about it, you might not but it was banned by the FDA in America this year so I am sure more news will come out soon but here is my personal story:-
In 2003 my daughter was born weighing in at 10lbs. I was left with embarrassing complications that I couldn’t find a way around.
In 2008 the NHS offered me the new ‘miracle cure’ to my stress incontinence, a TVT TAPE MESH SLING a hammock implant to support my pelvic floor. This product was never fit to be put inside the human body, it was insufficiently tested and test results were manipulated. By 2005 the manufacturers knew of the horrific problems but covered it up.
The mesh is made of the same plastic as water bottles and is toxic to humans and erodes in the body. On each end of the Mesh is a wire arm, one of which has worked its way out through my vaginal wall and is causing internal bleeding.
Sorry if this is too much information but it is like sitting on a knife 24/7 and I need to explain why this is so urgent. The mesh causes the immune system to fight this foreign body allowing and causing other conditions to go unchecked.
I have severe Ankylosing Spondylitis, Osteoarthritis and suffer awful infections of every type imaginable.
Professor Hashim is a Private Doctor I have found and he can get all the Mesh out in one go on the 16TH of August with any further treatments, like reconstruction to be NHS funded. That won’t be the end of the story by any means but it’s a good start for further treatment.
I’m in pain 24/7, have been virtually bed bound for 18 months and am affected in every aspect of my life. I have to take Morphine for the pain, I have a Husband in Palliative Care, an Autistic 21 year old son and a 15 year old daughter who has just done her GCSE’s and is transitioning to 6th Form College who all need me well.
I am the one that did everything for them and now I can do nothing so by helping me you are helping my whole family.
I have worked hard all my life and have never asked or accepted anything from anyone before however I have no choice but to beg for your help. I have been unable to work for years so I have used and sold anything I had to pay the bills and my credit rating is too low for a loan.
I pledge to continue to fundraise to help as many people as possible have their mesh removed so this campaign will be renamed and continued after my surgery. There are thousands of victims in the UK and it will take years for the NHS to deal with them so I hope to help others like me.
Please help by donating anything as every penny counts and by sharing my story anywhere and everywhere. If I can stop one person suffering like I and thousands of others have it would be amazing.
PLEASE NOTE THANKS TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS CAMPAIGN I KNOW OF 17 PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT PROCEEDED WITH AN OFFERED MESH PROCEDURE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
