It's agreed that cancer has no boundaries as to who it effects. But I can appreciate AKA2D'91's frustration with the lack of funding when it does come to cancer research.
An interesting point was brought up on one of the newscasts. For every $1400 spend on lung cancer research there's $14000 spent on breast cancer research.
My frustration comes at the FDA who take their sweet time coming out with the approvals for the new medications. Viagra certainly hit the streets at lightining speed and continues making major cash for the pharmecutical companies. Yet there will be people who suffer from the illnesses that were mentioned are left in a holding pattern waiting. Too bad you can't bring back the dead.
