Cancer Research point out that, despite the very real fears people have, things have improved – with long term survival having ‘doubled since the 70s’ thanks to ‘better diagnosis’ and ‘improved treatments’.

Man flu has become a big news story over the last couple of years, with various reports either claiming that it exists, or that it is really just a myth. There’s even a humorous website dedicated to the ‘condition’ we call man flu, which even helpfully includes a section for ‘key strategies for recognising the many manifestations’ of this much talked-about ailment.
