Hi Min

I think it has long been accepted that we all hold the ingredients within our bodies that can be cancer related,how it multiplies to full blown cancer related illness is not known,otherwise we would have an answer to Cancer.

Hi Eve

You are so right – family is everything. We are so excited about having all the boys and their families together, including brothers and sister. We are going mad cleaning and preparing the house. I am exhausted already but will be rested before the first one arrives on 20th.

Love to you both

Enjoy the week end

Love and Hugs
