When I was 16 I became addicted to codeine. This addiction presented itself in me until I was 22. I worshipped it, and even writing about it now makes me yearn for the taste of that tablet and the wave of relaxation that would make its way down my body 15 minutes later. The ability […]
Our Little Fighters need to keep warm. LFCT needs donations of unisex tracksuits for children age 0-18

The brain is the most important organ in the body because it controls all complex actions including the ability to learn, speak, move, think, and control our emotions.

Kidney tumours are typically unilateral (only in one kidney), but can be found bilaterally (occurring in both kidneys).
Cancer is a group of more than 100 diseases caused by the cells in a person’s body multiplying out of control. Cancer is separated into different types depending on what sort of cell it originated from (blood, brain, lung…) and if it invaded nearby body parts (a tumour) or spread to other organs (metastasis).
