Malignant cancer and cancer of the lymph or blood system. Malignant cancer occurs when certain cells start to grow and invade the surrounding tissues and may spread to other parts of the body. An enormous number of different cancers can occur depending on the originating cell type. Diagnosis is made on clinical, radiological imaging,and definitive diagnosis on histological examination of a biopsy . Advances are continually being made in the understanding of causes and treatment of cancers, ( too many to warrant inclusion here) which may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy. Exemption depends on the specific cancer,staging,prognosis, treatment etc etc. ALD 31) and ALD32) Exemption may also be granted for : ALD 31 a serious disease not in the above categories where continuous care is anticipated to last for a minimum of 6 months - examples stated  are - Macular degeneration ( commonest cause of blindness in people over 50)  Xeroderma Pigmentosum. ALD 32 where several diseases may be present, again where continuous care is anticipated to last for a minimum of 6 months an example given is of an elderly blind person who suffers a hip fracture. a so-called Polypathology.   It's not dark yet ......but it's getting there.    Report

I have tried to be concise and by being so will have left out so much important information, but I trust it gives a slightly better understanding of the chronic conditions. As for the exemptions and methods of exemption, well that probably requires another thread entirely!! There seems to be a lot of revision (political,financial and medical) at the moment with the entire list subject to constant updating and revision. There are plenty of guidelines for patients and doctors which are also under review. (see Haute Authorité de Santé - with many articles in English). Apparently 8 million patients are included in the ALD system and the care accounts for over half of the total expenses reimbursed by the Assurance Maladie.   It's not dark yet ......but it's getting there.    Report

On reading the list, my question is whether, having Alternative Plumbing (circumlocution for the squeamish!) as a result of previous bowel cancer, I would have to pay for the necessary regular supplies currently provided free in UK under a medical exemption certificate. Any ideas, please?    Report
