How would your medical situation be treated in UK Pay?It would be on the NHS, we have looked into it just in case. As I am a British citizen the drug I am now on would be free of charge. I have a good friend in the UK who has Leukemia and get’s the exact same drug on the NHS. The only problem I have if I came back is that as the drug for my particular cancer is still experimental I would have to go back to regular chemotherapy in the form of Rituxcin which is pumped into me in the form of a litre a week, it causes pain and agony for about 4 days afterwards and actually made me pee undiluted blood during that same period, the chemo would last for at least 6 months, I really could not bear the thought of going through that again, I would without doubt die.
I thought if you’d been out of the UK for a certain number of years as an ex-pat you weren’t entitled to free care from the NHS?
One of the reasons I stayed registered at my parents’ address for voting and DL etc.
