bullet gif'Cancer is Only a Word' and 'One Lump or Two' published in 1994 and 2001 respectively. The second book now comes with the first edition published free on CDROM. George Walker published his first book 'Cancer is Only a Word' in 1994 and the whole edition rapidly sold out.

It chronicled the period following the diagnosis in 1988 that he had Lymphoma cancer (when Doctors initially thought that he only had 3 months to live). Read the introduction to One Lump or Two by Sir Thomas Allen and the many reviews and comments on these two publications.

Do you know a friend or relative who could benefit from reading George's books? Book reviews and details on how you can order copies direct from NEPAC.

The George Walker Appeal

bullet gifThe Scotland and Newcastle Lymphoma Group began in 1979 with the aim of trying to organise lymphoma research for the combined population of Scotland and Northern England representing 8.5 million people.

The Trustees of NEPAC have established a fund for a rolling research post for a clinician or scientist to start in January 2004 to take forward SNLG's understanding of the non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, in memory of George Walker.

bullet gifWe hope that you are able to support our venture.


Cancer Research

bullet gifThe Scotland & Newcastle Lymphoma Group (SNLG) was first founded in 1979 when groups of doctors from Newcastle and the Northern Region met with those from Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen to decide to collaborate and co-operate in the investigation and treatment of people with lymph-gland cancers. During the course of the 1980’s the west of Scotland joined the group.
