From the Secret Squirrel's shoemail

'X' came up to me yesterday with news that some old MIDs have been awarded for involvement back to the Fifties . . . there must be an interesting story there for our readers. [Who has the gen?]
-----Also for skin cancer sufferers is the news that Imiquimod (Aldara) is being funded by Pharmac w.e.f. 1 Sep 2008 . . . at the moment Aldara costs $180 for 12 satchets. I have checked it out with a local pharmacy and it is true but the media have not published it yet. Aldara is a cream that can be administerd by the patient and is capable of healing some skin cancers without surgery. Very cosmetic.

Cheers . . . SS
