Jane is a 42-year-old single mother, raising three children while working.
Jane had a 1cm gallstone lodged in her 3mm bile duct. After repeated complications, including hernias, internal bleeding and pancreatitis, the NHS deemed her gallstone inoperable. She was, in effect, told nothing more could be done.
Stand For arranged specialist private surgical treatment in London. Throughout the process, Neil told Jane that if humans had put a man on the moon in 1969, we could probably sort out her stone.
Jane’s health was restored following the surgery, which resolved the serious complications she had endured from earlier treatment.
“I was extremely lucky I found STAND FOR. Neil kept telling me we’d put a man on the moon in 1969 so he was sure we could sort out my stone! And that’s just what STAND FOR did. Nobody should be told they can’t be helped, but when it happened to me, I was lucky enough to have someone come along and fight my corner.”
