[QUOTE="Gardengnome, post: 949044, member: 90244"] Awful as that is at least you survived thanks to the good old NHS. Better health in the future. I've been lucky so far, but my younger stepbrother was far less lucky. He lost his mother when he was 3 months old to a brain tumour, his father to a heart attack when he was 5 years old [his father and my stepfather was only 33 yrs old]. He developed epilepsy at 14 and married in his late 30's. His first baby was stillborn, but he went on to have 2 healthy children, his wife developed and subsequently died of breast cancer when the children were 12 and 13. A few years after that he had laryngeal cancer which he survived, he then lost all his teeth due to an argument with the corner of a table during an epileptic fit. he had a TIA which left him permanently blind in one eye and has had a second TIA and had a stent fitted to unblock a carotid artery. I don't think I've missed anything out . And I worry about having hypertension and prediabetes. [/QUOTE]
