'Doctors said I was dying, then I was offered a way to live' Read more:
I remember what happened to me in 2015 as though it was yesterday: the rush of footsteps, the sheer panic on the faces of the doctors and ICU nurses. The image seared in my memory is of me coughing up blood onto the belly of my pregnant wife.
In 2008, I met a girl, the first to convince me I had something else to live for. I made plans. I started to exercise. I got a bit healthier. I went into the hospital less often. But the blood remained. I had to change the way I slept; I couldn't sleep flat. I had to be careful what exercises I did; the wrong ones would start the coughing and the blood would follow. Even so, I was living a good life.
The drug was a pill taken twice a day. It took maybe three days for me to know that I was definitely not on a placebo. There was an almost instant difference in what I could do, in my energy levels, my breathing. I was able to actually play with my children for the first time in years without fearing a massive hemoptysis sending me back to the hospital. I was taking in deeper breaths than I had in over a decade, and I felt more"normal" than I had in years.
But the company who conducted my trial figured it out. They pivoted quickly, and, through remote technologies and protocol changes, the trial was never disrupted. I ended up being on the trial drug until 2022.
