Lesley believes she would not have lived this long were it not for her medicines.
I'm still alive, which I might not have been. I might not have been at all. I might not have been walking. So there you go. I didn't expect to last this long.
The Living with multiple medicines project was developed in collaboration with Healthtalk Australia.
