                I do remember that, and wondering how it could happen. Such a dreadful tragedy.

                      That was quite a long time before the suffragettes' movement was founded - she was well ahead of her time. I wonder if she got bullied or ostracised as a result of voting.

                        2014

                        A new treatment for bladder cancer was shown to completely cure some people, in the first significant breakthrough in the disease for 30 years. Scientists from Queen Mary University of London discovered that an antibody allowed cancer cells to be picked up by the immune system and eradicated before they could spread.



                        Let's hope we soon have an effective safe cure for all cancers. ​

                          Sadly there are so many cancers where treatment is still uncertain.
