Holy Smokes!

"Already the lung cancer genome is yielding useful information. As the average victim has smoked 18,000 packets of cigarettes, the researchers have concluded that a mutation is caused roughly every 15 cigarettes.

Professor Peter Campbell, who led the lung cancer team, said: "These mutations are a bit like Russian roulette. Most of the time you will hit an empty chamber and cause a passenger mutation.

"But every now and again you will hit a bullet and cause a tumour." "

Pretty interesting Info.

This is amazing----- chemo in a pill taken on the fortnight of the immune system's cycle. Thus the chances of a better outcome are vastly improved.   

Thanks for your post.
