Unfortunately my friend back in the UK is a pensioner and doesn't have the funds for a trip to India. Was told he could have a privately funded op, probably by the same surgeon within a month but that would cost 10 to 12 thousand pounds. Badly let down by the NHS imo.
As an aside I'd seriously consider a trip to India should I ever need such an op as I've read some excellent reports on what is available in the way of treatment.
