The scourge of mankind Mark, there's not many who haven't been affected by this terrible disease. Hopefully one day they'll find a cure. Tom

Excellent ink Mark, there can be few families whose lives haven't been affected directly or indirectly by cancer. My hubby will need further intervention in the future but we don't dwell on it and enjoy life and if it wasn't for his surgery I would never have started writing:-) hugs jan xx
