Royal Marsden Fire
Have been watching with great interest ... and a few prayers ... the fire at the Royal Marsden Cancer hospital & research center in London. I do know it was the first cancer hospital in the world ... founded about 1851, I think, and that it still is a treatment hospital as well as a large research facility.
I don't think it is as bad as they thought earlier, for a while it looked as the whole building was at risk. Now seems it tooks the roof, surgical suites, and they are doing some prayerful doublechecks to be certain all research was backed up elsewhere. And a true miracle was that they got everyone out of the hospital.
I haven't been on the board long, but I seem to remember some here are from England and Ireland. Could you let us know a bit more of what has happened than the sound bites we see on CNN? And does anyone know any possible ramifications due to projects and treatments centered there? I have to admit I felt selfish when one of my first thoughts was about any connection they may have to the Tykerb TEACH study I'm in.
We do have to keep these places in our hearts and prayers. They are as sacred as any of the cathedrals.
