I remember when why Granddad died of lung cancer; it was an awful painful existence towards at his death. After he died I paradoxically avoided Cancer Research, because it is an insidious disease and research seemed futile. That was a long time ago and now I'm happy to go to their charity shops. This is a particularly good one and has a fine selection of clothes, vinyl and ornaments. Caner research do great work and who knows, maybe one day there will be a cure?
