The best of luck to George...my dear Mum had surgery for this And it was successful in a day when treatment was not as effective ...

The chances of a full recovery are so much better than they used to be---my dad had this 53 years ago at only 56 years old--but he did not stand a chance.

Sad news about George Alagiah..............he was only reading the 6 o'clock news last week

My cousin in Ohio just emailed to say her step-son has stomach cancer and could go at anytime. She said it went undetected for too long. I have no idea if the doctors were negligent or he didn't go to them.

Oh dear--that is sad, whichever way it was. Something similar happened to my friend Carole, she kept getting fluid on her lungs that they kept draining, she had tests, scans, biopsies, everything you could think of--then they told her she had terminal lung cancer, it was too late to do anything. She lasted another 6 months.

Sorry to hear this Karl.
