Hi Rarbie, I'm glad your traveling ok. Don't worry about the food, as long as your getting a ballenced diet, a few treats along the way wont hurt. You still have to live for the day as well as the future. As for getting cancer at a younger age, there's different answers for specific types of cancer. For example, they can now detect a gean at puberty in girls that puts them in the highly likly group to develope breast cancer at an early age. You & I can basically thank our red hair and fair skin for our particlar type. I was just lucky enough at the time to be refered to one of the few surgeon's using MOS surgery and they were able to get it before it spread. I'm currently using Efidex cream as a follow up to my previous treatment. I have a week to go and it's quite unpleasent, I look like a spotted dog as it brings out all the sun spots and has high-lighted e few potentially nasty cancers on my forehead & nose. They tell me this cream should clean them up and prevent future trouble, hope their right. Stay strong, I know you still have a fair amount to endure but the end result is all that counts. Regards Gaffo.
