Dr Ram is easy to talk to, listens to me and has a great depth of knowledge concerning the treatment and care of Chordoma. He is at the forefront of Proton Beam Therapy to treat cancer lesions, especially Chordoma, in the UK. I was rejected for treatment by the NHS due to having multi-focal lesions and offered palliative photon radiotherapy which could have damaged my brain, eyes and hearing. That was in 2018. Dr Ram decided to offer me curative therapy of combined Photon/Proton therapy to minimise damage to other normal tissues. The result has been that I have stable or decreasing lesions and am able to lead a normal life. Thankyou so much!
