We lost my sweet Aunt Joyce to cancer today

[blur256]

She was only 60 years old. This was her second bout and she beat it the first time. Cancer sucks so bad. But I am glad she is at peace. According to my mom who was there the last few days were a heartbreaking struggle. I wish that Joe's moonshot with cancer would have come. And while I support other candidate at the moment, I still hope that happens. Cancer can be beaten. In our lifetime I feel. As long as the resources are there.

4. Peace to all of you. Research gives hope but often too late for loved ones.

Cancer took my wife at 60 too.

6. I'm sorry for your loss.

Hopeful breakthroughs are indeed on the horizon, and it is so very sad to lose family and friends because they are not available now.

7. The resources to beat cancer already exist...

...but as long as Big Pharma continues to operate under the premise that there are vastly more profits to be made in the treatment than the cure, we will continue to lose loved ones to this insidious disease.

Rest in peace, Aunt Joyce...

9. Want to clarify what you said

Are you saying it's just Pharma?

To be honest, Cancer reflects more than one concern at play. Cancer is the product of bad lifestyle, bad environment, and stress. All of these have for-profit entities pushing for their self-concerns and using whatever means necessary to preserve their profit.

Insurance too also plays into this given their strong reactive and arbitrary stances to treatment.

Cancer is an output of many things, many of which are preventable. Cancer, once it happens, is often treatable with minimal effects if caught early and treated appropriately. All of this take priority.

8. So sorry to hear - yes, if we would devote our resources to cancer instead of arms and war our world

would be far better. I have been fighting bladder and nhl myself for the last 2+ years....exhausting.
