REDCHEQHEN Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 It would really be worth while for those of you willing to take part - I certainly would (but in England so don't think I would be eligible) My sister died at the age of 55 from lung cancer - there are so many cancers that only get diagnosed at a late stage because there are no obvious symptoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
