Ocrevus

Too much good news? Having chased and got a referral to Barts to see if I am suitable for treatment with Cladribine (big thank you to Prof Giovanonni for his help with that) I get a call from an MS nurse in Leeds today saying I can have Ocrevus. My aged mother took the call in my absence so I will have to clarify how and when on Monday morning. So it seems my cup runneth over. RE Ocrevus am I right in thinking it should slow progression of my PPMS but, I did think it had to be shown that my MS was currently active to receive the drug?
@StrictlySoca

Excellent news. Nearly spat tea on the screen that Leeds is actually prescribing a relatively new according to NICE treatment and go ahead but then again you did light a fire under them by going to Barts. Just goes to show that not taking no for an answer can work out, Inspirational

Dr Ford in Leeds was very helpful when I saw her @ Wharfedale a couple of weeks back being quite happy to help with me getting to Barts, or if I wasn't suitable for Cladribine to get on an Ocrevus trial in the north, favouring Barts as apposed to trials with the risk of only getting a placebo. Then NICE changed the game. Its no consellation for what MS has cost me but, I'm no special case there I guess.
