With regards to ovarian cancer specifically, research has changed this from a 20% survival rate to 50% through developing better treatments and tests. When you have ovaries I'll take your views into consideration, until then do some looking into facts on your own.


Indeed, the death rates for cancer in the U.S. have dropped by 22% for men and 14% for women between 1990 and 2007. And in 1975, only 50% of people diagnosed with cancer could expect to live for another five years; now nearly 70% do. Among children, the gains are even greater: 80% of youngsters can expect to survive their childhood cancer today, compared with 52% in 1975.

I used to do quite a bit of work with St Jude's Children's Hospital and can tell you research does help - how many years did people bake themselves in the sun before the discovered it is linked to skin cancer.....I could go on and on but it's late.

If you want to donate $2000 of your own $$ to Suzanne in the Stockon family name I'm sure that would be a nice gesture and you can put your money where your convictions lie.

Thanks
