Surgery in time is the key but it is possible to fight it off so hang on in there people and never give up!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=272629&AppID=25494&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
