Do I stand a chane if I appeal? Had to drop out due to health problems.

I am reasonably well now, both physically and mentally. Unfortunately, when I was at Uni, my physical health deteriorated. I was in and out of hospital for recurring pneumonia, seizures, other problems with my lungs (COPD), fainting/ being malnourished from being underweight, Bell's Palsy, head injuries which I think gave me memory problems (e.g I really do not remember much of 12-13, for example I found out I had a CAT scan), and I shamefully, a few suicide attempts... (I was struggling to deal with my lung problems, PTSD from abusive boyfriend that gave me head injuries, eating disorder, depression and anxiety.)

Until I got ill, my grades were pretty good. I never got to hand in my second year work, as I was in and out of hospital. I really thought I wasn't going to make it, my key worker said the same thing. I've only recently felt well again, after months/ years of weekly visits to the doc and therapy. I've still got COPD which is horrible, but I haven't been in hospital for a few months now.

It would mean the world to me if I could just get my second years work marked, so I can obtain credits and possibly finish it via Open Uni. Do I stand a chance of appealing and making this happen? Or is it simply too late?

Apeal, they may even let you finish your course at your uni, like do the course at home and come in for presentations.
I know people who were out of uni (for different reasons) and got to do this.
