You Never Fully Recover

News on the BBC that survivors of childhood cancer may go on to face long-term health problems, according to research. Something that was discussed with Jules' illness. They'd said the leukaemia she suffered in childhood probably contributed to the development of the brain tumour, the aggressive radiation treatments she was subjected to being the most likely cause. Although with statistics now saying 1 in 3 of the UK population will develop cancer of some sort, and 1 in 10 developing brain tumours, there has to be other contributors.

They say you're never cured of cancer, simply in constant remission :-(
