Disclosure

I should start by saying that I'm not a medical professional* and that my qualifications are more in general science than in medicine. However, I'm an intelligent man who's fascinated in the subject of cancer, from the perspective of why it's feared so much, why it's so common and, of course, how best to avoid becoming seriously ill or dying. OK, so there's a degree of self interest there!

    * and as such I take no responsibility whatsoever for any advice given on these pages. Please do your own research, use your own intelligence and consult your own health care professionals if you still have burning questions.
