Being able to see at the 20 week scan that my grandson would need a heart operation at birth to repair transposition of the great arteries.

Radiotherapy. Thanks to it, my husband is 7 years in remission from prostate cancer.

Oncotype DX Genomic Tests. Without this, I would have had to have chemotherapy. (The tumour is tested and given a score of between 1 and 100. Where I was treated a score of 25 or more = chemotherapy. I was extremely lucky to have a score of 4 so avoided chemo (mastectomy and radiotherapy required though). My tumour sample was sent to the US for testing at a cost to the NHS of around £4,000 but a cost benefit overall as chemo would have been much more expensive. I am grateful.

Penicillin.
