Pete & Gilly
A special 'Thank You' to Mike (you know who you are) for all your help and support. XX
February 2008, Pete now has his family home up for sale to help repay some of his debts that have amounted while fund raising to pay for his life saving surgery and the time to have the 6 operations needed. The family are now looking for a house to rent and will start packing over the next few weeks. Pete is still recovering from his surgery but is not expected to get the go ahead for work until May 2008.
The family will visit Norwich Union to ask for Pete's policy to be re-examined in the hope they will make a critical life payment to Pete for the family to secure another home. Julia is still campaigning for her husbands right to live and is also currently organizing lectures for surgeons up and down the country to receive more knowledge on the removal of A.V.Ms & brain tumors, as this was the very reason Pete was denied treatment his only hope of survival was to be treated by an NHS surgeon in Bristol, which was quote 'out of area'
Julia quoted ' I will never rest until more surgeons have the training & skill to deal with these complex operations, I'm making it my goal to get more surgeons and key decision personnel fully informed of alternative treatments that are available through the N.H.S. so more lives are saved.'
