:13:48. > :13:52.just as it developed into a cancer. Because of that, we were able to
:13:53. > :13:59.consider him for an operation to remove the affected area whhch has
:14:00. > :14:03.been perfected over quite a large number of centimetres. We took all
:14:04. > :14:08.of that vote, a huge operathon. After the operation, he told me by
:14:09. > :14:14.the way, I discovered this `nd this other thing. As classic lind was
:14:15. > :14:22.another thing I need to tell you, and I thought what else is coming!
:14:23. > :14:28.He said, you know how they say that you are black and white all the way

:15:06. > :15:08.recovering well and it could be said that he is one of the fortunate ones
:15:09. > :15:15.to have his cancer detected before it spread. I know I am luckx, I have
:15:16. > :15:20.had cancer twice but I was `lways treated by the rich people. It was
:15:21. > :15:23.found early enough. Does it mean to reflect upon how things havd gone in
:15:24. > :15:31.your life and where you go from here? I am very positive and I think
:15:32. > :15:35.that I am very lucky. Great to see Bobby Moncur looking so well. The
:15:36. > :15:39.north`east has the highest rate of this cancer and the world, why is

:15:53. > :15:59.big contributors. You are ehght times more link `` more likdly to
:16:00. > :16:06.develop that sort of cancer if you drink and eat heavily. What should
:16:07. > :16:09.the rest of us look out for? The thing that happened with Bob was
:16:10. > :16:17.that he had a lot of heartbtrn and indigestion and that has
:16:18. > :16:20.contributed. That can be worrying because what happens is that the
