No worries, just post the details mate.
Cancer is my business and I have been touched by the disease in that my grandfather and mother had various forms - Oesophageal and Colonic respectively. It's my "business" as I am a Cytotechnologist...I look down a microscope and diagnose cancer or pre-cancers in PAP smears, Fine needle aspiration specimens and the fluids that the body produces in disease conditions such as the effusions produced in response to say lung cancer for example. I have done this job for 25 years and I have found that every time I discover malignant cells in a specimen I cant help but think about the person and family affected by the disease even if it's only in the abstract way of comparing how the disease affected me and my family. I have recently started a new job in a small lab that performs a very high number of Fine Needle aspirations (FNAs) - needle inserted into a "lump" in order to extract some diagnostic cells - and have been struck by the high numbers of malignant results obtained and thus lives affected!
Houghy good onya for taking a stand and wanting to make a difference.
