Hello gabster58

I'm so sorry to hear that you've recently been told you're not eligible for any trials due to your current health. It's understandable that you've been left feeling so very disappointed. 

Clinical trials have strict eligibility criteria for many reasons and sadly this means that there will be other people who find themselves in similar circumstances to you. It's natural that you're feeling like a door has been firmly closed to you. 

I wonder if you might find it helpful to talk to one of our nurses about your situation. I know they will be happy to offer any advice, information and support they can. If you'd like to talk with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

Sending you my best wishes,
