Kidney Patient Guide

We were contacted last Friday. What a nightmare to be told you will be £400 a month worse off.

Take care

My husband worked to the day before he had his tube fitted for dialysis. The job he did was with steel. a very heavy and dirty job so by going on dialysis he was unable to carry on doing this type of work. (He worked for same company for over 40 years yet couldnt find him a cleaner and lighter job!!...
