Worked several jobs, including in a nursing home. Got thyroid cancer and the treatment caused me to have a stroke and many other health issues. Thanks to the stroke I'm now partially sighted, can't walk properly and can no longer work. Also have chronic foot infections and migraines. NHS treatment is so awful it has made my health worse rather than better. My local pharmacist tells me I'm a drain on the NHS because my medications cost so much. Got awarded disability benefits until 2028, but still waiting for the backpay and payments to start. Absolutely penniless and in debt.
