“Just had a friend say they wished they had this in the States! What are the chances? Would be amazing to make this global… My son’s cancer was not picked up by GP’s, Pediatricians or hospital consultants at our local hospital for 4 months!!!! I think they should go to everyone, from Health Visitors, GP’s” Lena –

“Received one from my children’s school today. Keep up the great work guys. I wish I had seen one of these cards when my daughter was ill maybe then she wouldn’t have suffered so much pain before the drs would listen to me. Finally got a diagnosis of Leukaemia after going back and forth to gp and hospital for a month. x x” Nicky

Cancer is regarded as a disease that must be “fought” to end the “civil insurrection”. We can fight the early development of cancer in our body considering that vast majority of cancer risk factors are environmental or lifestyle-related. However, I enjoy reading your article. I bookmarked it.
