It does indeed strike fear. However it is being beaten more often than it used to be. My husband is in remission (3 years) acute myeloid leukaemia.... my mum recently diagnosed with breast cancer (which is why I posted my orig question on if it cldv been a secondary .,,. But that seems unlikely given all the answers x
