About the Speaker: Cade Musgrove
Cade is 27 years old and lives in Lydney, Forest of Dean. He works in Bristol as a Manufacturing Engineer for a well-known aircraft engine manufacturer.
He was first diagnosed with FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) in 2014 and has been on dialysis for around 10 years, with the exception of a transplant in 2016 that unfortunately failed due to recurrence.
