Editorial Issue 201 Print Email

No matter how many years I have been Editor of Positive Health PH Online - about 19 years and 201 issues - there is nothing that brings home more clearly the stark reality of illness, particularly cancer, than when people I know and have been helping to locate research or physicians, inform me that their or their loved one’s prognosis is now ‘terminal’.
