Our next-door-but-one neighbour had her lung removed on Tuesday because of lung cancer.

I was reading somewhere recently (I'll try and find it) how the rate of lung cancer is inversely proportional to the smoking rate - i.e. in the 1950s everybody (~90%) smoked yet lung cancer was extremely rare. Now only 25% of the population smoke it is extremely common...

 My brother has just been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Not sure if I should send a card.  Congratulations on your diagnosis doesn't seem right really. noooo:
