At least something good has come out of it (albeit unattributable to LH). Hopefully more people will start making appointments they have been to scared to book - it's worth it!

Have a lovely day

just like when kylie was found to have breast cancer - the uptake on breast scans jumped massively espcially in au

There has been several complaints about posts on this thread. They have been removed.

Auto, you shouldn't be deleting all those things, people need to see them.

Maybe then they will wake up, you can't just brush things under the carpet, they won't go away by doing that. Your just giving LH an easy way out and protecting him from further comments.

That photo is on the Sky News website, so why can't it be on here?

Bison - the comments have caused offence and were removed.

Your post of the picture was only to further fan any flames.

It's a tragic event that should not be further tarnished with crass comments - I hope posters will respect this.

aye my best mate had to have his knacker chopped off a year ago, he wasn't even 30, scared the shit out of all us lads thats for sure.

I recently had a lump on me baws. Scared the shit out of me, all the tests etc.
Scary scary stuff, and cancer can take us down at anytime, nobody is exempt.

Poor Jade Goody.

Spugsy

did they rub weird blue gel on your nuts and do an ukltrasound sort of thing?

They did when I found a lump and they showed it to me on the monitor ans 'hye son, do you want a printout of it?'

commander

I have the ultrasound prints framed by my bedside. They also stuck a probe up my arse lol, don't think there was any reason for it, just a brucey bonus..

I don't mind admitting I was scared, and having the urologist give me the all clear was like a new start.

I kept it from my family which was a bit silly I guess

Spugsy

aye me too.

(the keeping it quiet, not the anal probe)

Ive not been on here for a couple of days but did read about Jade in the paper yesterday. If im truly honest im pleased Auto has removed any comments that obviously have caused massive offence, i lost a cousin 3 years ago, started exactly the way Jade's did, she was mis-diagnosed and once it was caught, like Jade it spread to all her major organs, there was nothing that could be done. She died at the age of 23 years old, only just married 7 months earlier.

I dont want to read someone's inconsiderate comments which only result in them being pleased with themselves for the reaction they receive.

This poor lass needs all the help and support in the world, even if it is from people she doesnt know.

As mentioned cloning immune system cells is promising...if we can shoot all the religious fundamentalists who want to ban stem cell and cloning research of course

I lost my mother to cancer two weeks before my son was born seven years ago...the cure's pretty much in our grasp but people are taking new approaches seriously and seem to prefer to zap people with radiation instead

There's a documentary called "To Courtney With Love" that was shown on UK TV a couple of years back.

13-year-old Beckie Williamson gave birth to a daughter, Courtney, only to be diagnosed with terminal cancer at 15. She died aged 16.

The documentary is of her and her sister Vicky and what they wanted Courtney to know about her mum. Courtney certainly didn't mind having an unwed teenaged mum; she loved her to bits.

One of the most moving things I have ever watched. My eyes are welling up just thinking of it.

Beckie: "It's true. Life's a bitch and then you die."

Exactly, how the hell can anyone be against stem cell testing when it can save the lives of millions? Seriously, how can these tree hugging idiots justify that opinion?

Norm_uk

It's not the tree hugging lot, it's the religious "don't play god" lot who are opposed to things like stem cell research, cloning, abortion for any reason.

They justify their position with belief not reason or evidence and even have the gall to say it's "unethical".
