Just to add to my previous post that it should be available on BBC Sounds catch-up service later for those in the UK.

I am listening to radio 5 live on the BBC in the UK and it has just been announced that the hour long phone in starting at 10am will be on ME.

Thanks for the link, Kitty. I have not watched the video but also tried to post a link. I failed :(

Smoking, shift work and “other variables”. Perhaps I am missing something but considering the type of cancer, might diet not have had an influence? I do not understand how because they have found a correlation between two things they can suggest a causal link.

7.15 am - 7.30am. Dr Binita Kane was on the sofa and Dr Weir spoke remotely. There was a film interview with a patient who was once an athlete (rower) and someone whose husband is very severely affected (I think she may have been the person I heard on the LBC phone in.) Despite wincing at...

Thanks for the reminder, Trish. I have found the parliament TV channel and hope to watch at least some of it live.
