An MS sufferer whose wife has been left in a wheelchair after a brain bleed is spending their £45,000 life savings on treatment abroad. Scott McPhillimy is desperate to halt his own condition so he can be fit enough to look after her.
He was supported by Suzanne after his MS diagnosis seven years ago but during lockdown, she collapsed in the middle of a work video call after suffering the near-fatal aneurysm. Scott, 34, is flying to a clinic in Mexico next week to start the month-long treatment programme in a bid to stop his wife, who has difficulty communicating, from going into care if his illness progresses.
The ex-police officer, from East Kilbride, said: “Suzanne means everything to me. She is my world. We’ve been together since we were 16 and I would not have got through my MS diagnosis without her.
