Re: Cancer news
I had bad leg cramps and my toes were twisting, even standing up didn't move them.I put on a pair of elastic stockings and had the rest of the night cramp free and slept like a log.

Re: Cancer news
Most Cancers, [ not all, e.g. Pancreatic] can be cured IF Caught early enough. constant checks are needed.
I was talking to a lady recently about the subject, she would not go for a routine Breast Cancer check up.
She said she was not going, as the Doctor may tell her , she has Cancer,
I think she believes that if she is not told then she will be OK. Cancer kills when it spreads to other organs, lungs, liver, brain tumours and so on.
So have the checks and keep on top of it. catch it early and survive.
Cheers
Brian
