Robert is doing a fantastic job of raising awareness of the underfunded cancer.

Oh was he? We watched his piece on the One Show a few weeks ago which was really good in talking about research in the cancer.

It's great to see he's able to turn his loss into something so positive.

Just read it, so very moving what a brave lady. Why did she have to be in such dreadful pain I thought pain didn't happen now.

Some of the biggest medical charities are cancer researching so they cannot have as little spent on research as copd, been less well funded and lower profile comes with smoking related illness.
