The US spends more than 600billion dollars on military where in some instances the amount of people who die each year in Iraq or Terrorism is the same as a day of casualties of cancer.

Thanks Senators.. for beating around the bush.

fucken bastards lie through their teeth. Cure for cancer has been found by Max Gerson and Tulio Simoncini.

One they killed and the other they took his licence.

Its not an accident that every senator is paid handsomely by the pharmaceuticals to keep the war from being 'won' .please look it up.

i'm a hateful idiot and your a meathead.i'm hateful am i because i see whats going on here and you don't.ahhh the poor gullible people in society today.you just continue on in life beleiving this pile of bullshit and maybe some day you'll see.

Not even with all the technology, all the most advanced chemos and insurance coverage will save my father from an inoperable 17cm atypical carcinoid tumor. Everything is just WRONG! is 2008 and yet these deseases are making our lives a shit, destroying our dreams and our families. All the conventional medicine sucks, they have been looking in the wrong places for the cure and they will keep on looking on the same places.I bet they'll come with new chemos and new rad, more money and more pain.

You can't prevent all types of cancer you idiot, cancer is spontaneuous, your DNA is constantly mutating and being repaired, a few hits in the wrong places at the wrong time and you're gone. Yes we can accelerate the process by smoking or doing damage to our body but non smokers/vegetarians still get cancer (ex Jackie Kennedy). And people should be able to enjoy life without getting cancer anyway. And what about people who are born with a few of those mutations, ready to get cancer on 1 or 2hits

[darfunkel]

governslayer you're a hateful idiot, I don't care anymore what happened to you, you offer no solutions and you're here just to complain. You knnow nothing about science or biology so it's useless to try to explain to you why we need campaigns like this to help fund the research, there is no other way, nobody will else will fund it because there's no profit on it.

[governslayer]

so true,they say there so close to a cure as long as the money keeps flowing in from the poor gullible people.unfucking beleivable.

Many will think 400 years are too far away to care about. (to be honest I don't think our reservoirs will last that long and it's a fruitless boast)

But that was what people of the past were thinking when they created Social Security, Now it appears there will not be enough social security for our generation

Learn from our mistakes, we have to thinkk about the future now.

Sorry I brought such a tangent, as to cancer we'll never know there is a cure until we discover it. (you never know)
