The truth and frustration is Scary for all!
"I have never been as worried about our nation's commitment to the war on cancer as I am today," said Nancy Brinker, a breast cancer survivor and founder of an advocacy group called Susan G. Komen for the Cure, in a speech to thousands of cancer specialists in Chicago in June. She called on researchers to come up with better medicines: "There is a Great Divide between discovery and delivery," she said, "when we celebrate as 'breakthroughs' treatments that cost $50,000 and that extend life, at most, a few months. This is progress?"
Amen, Lani! Let's hold onto our hope!
