I’m sure if those football player or owner of city can donate some of their money. Surely all will be cured without difficulty. Money won’t follow you to hell so why not become great person when you can if you have a lot of money.

It’s commendable that he had the gumption to write such a personal account. I’m proud for the club to associate itself with such a fight.

In addition to this, the Everyman charity – fighting against prostate and tesicular cancer – also does great work.

I just recently did a university project about PDD and PDT treatment. Was really fascinating how they could use lasers and a flourescent substance to erradicate tumours with pinpoint accuracy.

Giles- Not going to get into the healthcare debate but okay. then, I’m surprised that something like this isn’t a higher priority.

The NHS does fund a huge amount of research on cancer and other things, Cav, supplemented by charities. I am about to go on a clinical trial of a new form of radiotherapy developed in an NHS specialist cancer hospital in London, which is one of the best in the world. I have not needed special privileges to get referred there, nor have I used private health insurance, nor have I paid to ‘jump the queue’, it’s all been done through my GP, then my local hospital, now on to the Cancer hospital, all through the normal channels of the NHS, available to all regardless of the colour of your skin, your religion or your social class. All on the NHS, the finest institution in Britain, after United that is.

Very classy.

Not being british, I’m surprised to find out that the NHS doesn’t fund stuff like this.

The ‘few survive’ refers back to those who contract the disease, not the 8000.
