Cancer breakthrough at last?
These days there always seems to be something in the news about the latest cancer breakthrough but nothing seems to have the real answer - until now!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/m...er/4423847.stm
It seems at last there IS light at the end of the tunnel.
And there's me thinking "It's grim up North"!!!
I just hope to god they get the funding they need to push the research through - it would be criminal for us to throw away all their hard work.

I thought OTHER STUFF meant just that!!!
Also I thought that ANY breakthrough in cancer treatments would be of interest to everyone - having lost my mother to this terrible disease and also being scared to death of getting it myself I thought it may have been of interest.

Yep, 15 new speedhumps that slow down ambulances so leading to more deaths on the way to hospital and a saving for the tax payer because less treatment is required.

That reminds me of a story that was in the local news around here: they put speed bumps going through a village. This village happened to be near a factory which had lorries going to and from it 24 hours a day, so of course, all the locals got p**sed off becasue of the noiuse the lories were making going over the bumps. Solution: spend another £250000 digging them up and resurfacing the road.
What a joke!

Pah! We can all rattle on about RIBS, hardboats, and whatever else to do with boats. You must be one of the lucky ones who hasn't experienced first hand the DISGUSTING, FOUL, SOUL & BODY DESTRUCTING disease that is Cancer!
I think you will find your comments on this subject are not welcome!

Anyone who's battling the disease or is caring for someone who has cancer might want to read Lance Armstrong's 2 books
"It's not about the bike" & "Every second counts"
In 1999 Armstrong was diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and his brain and his chances of survival were rated as low as 20% by some specialists.
Not only did Armstrong win his own personal battle and deal with the devastating effects of the chemo, he worked his way back to a level of fitness and mental fortitude that enabled him to win four further Tours de France that ranked him up with the alltime greats of cycling Eddie Mercyx & Miguel Indurain.
Inspirational stuff. And he started the Lance Armstrong Foundation to give people the information they needed to fight their own individual battles.
And yes, the bastard disease claimed both of my parents.

Thanks - that is why I posted this - ANY glimmer of hope has to be worth something - I just hope it doesn't fizzle out like all the others - it DOES seem the most promising for a while though.
Hope he hangs on in there!!!

Kim this may also be of interest
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4413585.stm
"People with advanced bowel cancer will now have a choice of therapy after prescribing curbs have been lifted.
The NHS cost watchdog says two more chemotherapy drugs should be considered for such patients in addition to conventional 5-fluorouracil therapy."
Remember sometimes doctors need to have their blinkers removed!!!!
