Today brought another trip to North Downs Specialist Referrals (NDSR) for Epirubicin chemotherapy that comes at the end of this cycle of the CEOP protocol. One more cycle to go for this protocol.

TL;DR A £7000 policy isn’t enough to cover a single chemo protocol for lymphoma, especially given the likely costs that will have stacked up before getting to a diagnosis.
