    I had been worried about the second laxative.  The first had been disgusting.  Pentolax this time, which was different.  Why they had not given that to me first time only the NHS know.  It was like drinking water.  So easy.&n...

    For many people, Ramadān is a time of reflection, faith, and connection. When you’re living with cancer, this month can also bring questions, adjustments, and mixed emotions.
