My 'Other' is the thought that invariably creeps into your head whenever you are doing something nice (going to the beach with the family for example) that this could be the last time you will get the opportunity to do that thing.

Having watched my brother, fight this terrable cancer and pass away after 17month's. Two and a half years later, my sister has recently been diagnosed with the same tumor and is terminal, I ask the question, is there a Genetic link?

More funding and research is needed to detect this killer early.

Watching my husband die, he was only 56 and a great sportsman and to see him suffer this terrible disease and him asking me to try and save him because he did not want to die and leave me and our 4 children, was so heartbreaking.
