Thanks Ann,

I agree we can't blame the drug companies. We have to look to ourselves. I never gave much thought to the whole issue of cancer funding (with the exception of universal health care,which I've supported for years), but selfishly I'm now very interested. My own instinct is to focus on one or two possibilitites, the research at the U. of Alberta on DCA is my first interest, and I've already written to them asking how I can help in their fundraising campaign for the projected clinical trials. I'll let you know if anything comes of that. I've written to the Gates Foundation previously about other issues like AIDS funding in Africa but never got a response, so I may let that one go.
