I desperately want to have a Provox operation which costs HK$20,000 in Hong Kong (I have a friend who very generously has offered to pay for it) but other people in the local New Voice Club have advised against it because of leakage but I've also heard it's standard under the NHS. I need some advice? I'm also rather poor, my own stupid fault not realising that I was already 65 last year.
By the way I really admire the way your nurses cared for my father [edited by admin] when he was dying from liver cancer in Torquay in 1992. Your nurses were terrific! Thank you so much!
