Isnt that 20-25% of the TOTAL of women diagnosed each year have that stage ?

or did i miss something ?

It is said that both love and truth walk hand in hand. But if the need is great enough, can we learn to love a lie?

some of my friends work in medical research, not on this drug, but we have discussed the pros and cons of this
The drug in question is NOT approved for use in the UK, it has to go through some more approvals (first) but it has passed US FDA approval
this means it can be given in the UK but not on the NHS, hence all the crap

It could be a good drug but again the media start shouting 'wonder drug' , utter shite, the problem is that managers make the decision not the doctors on medical grounds

rant over

we are Leeds.... , and we can still beat the mighty Chester

The money for smackheads free needles, benefits scroungers and pretend disabled people has to come from somewhere. The taxpayer with genuine need is usually the source.
We have need of you again, great king.
