What do you think gave you cancer?

Scientists say 42% of all cancer cases could be avoided, if people lead healthier lives.

Cancer Research UK says the findings should be treated as "a wake-up call" on public health.

When you were diagnosed with cancer, you must have wondered why me? So what was your conclusion? Your genes, your choices, what life threw at you? Chance? Bad luck?

Did you see the ITV programme last night 'My Child's Not Perfect'?

It was a documentary looking at behavioural issues and the ways in which they impact upon the young lives of three children and their parents.

It touched on the emotional issue of when a parent realises their precious child is different, that thing's aren't quite right.

It featured the stories of Adam, Henry and Katherine, a boy with autism, a young man with Tourettes and little girl who is perfectly confident and chatty at home, but who has inexplicably never uttered a word at school.

Did you see the programme? Did it strike a cord with you?

Are you living with a child with special needs?

We hear your stories, views and opinions.
