Make content about: Andrew got the surgery he needed
Andrew spent nearly four decades in the Royal Navy helping others, but asking for medical help proved harder.
This story
After retiring as a Royal Navy Captain in 2019, Andrew developed Peyronie's disease, which causes curvature and pain. When shockwave therapy failed, he needed specialist reconstructive surgery that cost over £10,000. A grant from a charity covered the bill, relieving the financial strain and restoring his mental wellbeing.
