We're rooting for you, Scott!
A Lanarkshire former cop with a black hole in his brain is 'confident' treatment in Mexico will help cure his condition, allowing him to care for his disabled wife.
After completing four brutal rounds of chemotherapy to remove his old immune system, Scott is now halfway through. And he is hopeful that his immune system will reboot with no memory of MS."I have received four doses of chemotherapy to remove my old immune system, had my stem cells harvested and then reintroduced. I will now enter a period of neutropenia where I will have a dangerously low immune response while my immune system reboots.
He also experienced excruciating bone pain as a result of twice daily injections to stimulate the stem cells from his bone marrow before they were harvested. But after bravely battling through the pain he admits the hardest thing was being so far away from home, and his beloved wife Suzanne."All being well, I will arrive back in the UK on September 25. I can't wait to see Suzanne and give her a hug.
