For 18 months I have been treated for breast cancer by wonderful NHS. I have had two surgeries,chemotherapy,radiotherapy heart scan and CT scan and my first mammogram.Now on targeted therapy for 3 years. I have not had to worry if private health insurance would cover my expensive treatment.
Please don't support politicians that want to replace the #nhs by the American heath model. This includes Farage and Reform. Check out his policies and backers.

Don't let them try to convince you that "America is full."

The United States is one of the least densely populated countries in the Global North and we accept one of the smallest per capita numbers of refugees in the world.

We have plenty of space for immigrants. Period.

Ugh. Looks like widespread pulmonary mets. Will share as I learn more.
… and almost all of the CT scanners are down. Waiting will definitely make me less anxious about this test.

"I see you were fond of playing the Devil's Advocate," Saint Peter said.

"Er... The name isn't really..."

"No, I know. 'Devil's Advocate' is a specific job, and that is allowed."

"So I'm good?"

"No, because you weren't doing that specific job, you were just being a dick online."

@stevendbrady Like 5th out of everything everywhere, or fifth at Royal Farms? I’ve never tried it I don’t know if this is a good or bad endorsement.
