And in practice, we both know it doesn't work that way. Sure I love the NHS, I think it's the right of all citizens to receive healthcare from their government. However, at least in the case of the NHS, it needs a boot up the arse.

Not really. The product has already passed clinical trials. I'm not really sure what your point is tbh.

I see no information on it, and BG is saying it's experimental. But if that's the case, then fair enough. The fact you failed to mention it doesn't help, but I'm sure you're well aware of that. </BLOCKQUOTE>

BG is cribbing from the local paper tbf. As he didn't provide a link in the OP I'd googled it myself to find the story and then googled the name of the drug to see what it was.

I hadn't actually clocked the fact that it hadn't been mentioned in the thread. Quite amused by the fact that apparantly mostly everyone else is debating it without having the faintest idea what it is tho.

I'll have to google it again to remember how to spell it.

Sunitinib for the record. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Fair enough :thup:

And I'm going in to get a bollock removed tomorrow as I have testicular cancer :thdn:

Tomorrow?!

May I ask.... obviously don't think twice if you want to ignore this post, because if it wasn't a message board I wouldn't have asked about your business like thiis.

It was only a couple of days ago that you mentioned you were getting it checked out. Do you think you've had time for it all to register and for any of your questions to be resolved?

I take stuff in quick. Little sod needs to go, I'm not wasting time beating about the bush even if it's going to cost a bomb.

You kidding me? I'm getting a 3 for 2 deal on stunt nuts. I'll be taking twice as much afterwards.

Surely there aren't enough hours in the day for that to be true? Or will you be sub-contracting?

In all seriousness, good luck mate. There's a very good prognosis in these cases where it's been caught early, which i'm assuming this has.

You have your minions, I have mine :cool:

Ultrasounds and blood work suggest it hasn't spread and there's no additional problems such as lymphoma. Just hoping it stays that way.

Sorry to hear that FBT. My best wishes to you for a speedy recovery. :thup: Be sure to take it easy for a few days, after the op.
