 __ Yup, that's where I'm at.  52 in September.

 we know we are in troubled waters however we are not miserable or moping around
 we intend to take several holidays this year Scotland and the Orkney Isles in June, southern Ireland for my little bruvs wedding in July, Poole in Dorset in August and maybe Florida in November,

 __ That's quite an itinerary.  It's more than I have planned for the next five years.

 See our family

I loved the photos.  We are so used to seeing each other
as just bits of text on the newsgroup that its great to see
the real images of human beings behind the text.

Two sets of clinical trials that have intrigued me are those
for phenoxodiol and for the cancer vaccines.  Like everything
else, these are highly experimental and may very well not
pan out, but the early testing showed some promise.  I
don't know if either is being tested across the pond.  A lot
of the original work on both of these was actually in
Australia.

The "vaccines" are not for prevention like most vaccines,
but for treatment.  The idea is to sensitize the patient's
own immune system to something in the tumor cells and
thereby get the immune system to attack them.

I wish you, John, and the rest of your family the very
best.
