thanks Amy. I agree with the writer and how most of us I believe feel; we want the money spent on research, on scientists like Dr. Slamon. Plus there are many different cancers and as a founder of a support group for English speakers in France, I can tell you that pancreatic, lung and throat are basically a death sentence. Yes, we've had several bc members pass away also but the majority of our members have bc and many of them had cancer some 25 years ago. We need to stop cancer period. In all its forms. The awareness is out there, certainly for bc. I like to give to those who do research or who directly help people (like this site, wouldn't we be lost without it?) and to people who need financial aid to get their treatment. I don't like to think the limited donations I can give go to awareness or administration or publicity, etc.
