Hey, Rich! Loved what they had to say about Clondronate since I take the stuff! And I complain about having to wait an hour every morning for my coffee! No more shall I pee and moan about taking it!!!!

You know, if cancer is so damned smart, how come it kills it's hosts instead of just living parasitically? Seems like it can outwit us on every level, hence the feeling that it is so terribly clever, but it leads to its own demise every time if left untreated. Dumb stuff if you ask me.....! Just a random thought...
