Daily Mail !!!!!

overwhelmed
Offline

I am sorry everyone but I am so fed up.

 I have had some 15 months of chemo and needles and everything else and my poor dear wife is looking for ANY lifeline for me.   WHY OH WHY does the Daily Mail insist on publishing at least 2 articles every day of miracle cures.  It does not help and it makes life a bit more difficult,  Any chance  that Cancer Research UK can take some sort of action???

Keep positve everyone

    Hi John

    Just wanted to say... know how you feel. My husband has cancer and we've had well meaning friends message us to tell us about miracle cures they've read about in this publication or that..

    Since husbands diagnosis cancer seems to be everywhere. Every program on TV seems to have a reference (or worse still a reference to somebody who didn't beat it and has passed away)  so we feel can't even get an escape from our new reality by emerging ourselves in the goggle box! 

    In the case of the Daily Mail..  I guess a miracle cure can sell papers. Cancer is so scary that even people who haven't got it are keen to know it might be irradicated before they have to face it themselves. 

    Hope it made you feel a little better venting your angst.

    Warm wishes
