I lost an acquaintance, a good friend and neighbor, and my MIL to cancer and am watching my FIL deal with it too.

Stop working so hard on passing out pills like M&Ms to "supposed" ADD kids that are probably really just BAD, and focus on a real disease that KILLS.

Trying to not hijack the thread. But, I've read that diabetes kills more people than cancer does? How much do you hear about it though? I've always been a little skeptical about "foundations" or "organizations" that collect money. Maybe they have raised awareness for more women to get screened and checked out and saved lives by doing so. Some work real hard at collecting money and marketing efforts.

How much of the money goes to the marketing effort vs. real research?

Could a cure be lost just because of lack of communication? Think about all the data and research collected for so many years, but spread out across the world, computers, companies, etc...and not openly shared by all.

My Prayers for Mark.

A few weeks back the woman that ran our Print Shop, Sandy Moldafsky, was diagnosed with a Brain Tumor. It turned out to be Malignant. She started Chemo.
This morning when I logged into the Corp. web site, there was a notice that she had passed away over the weekend.

Then don't please. Very good points for discussion that merit a thread of their own.

Take your rest in Glory, Mark. We'll miss you, Brother.

I've been told that Mark is headed to hospice.

Mark, give 'em hell when you get to the other side.

Damnnnn...

[Kerrmudgeon]

Never knew the man, but my heart goes out to anyone who perishes from that illness. Not the way I want to leave this world.

Godspeed Mark

Mark is one of the "good guys". He will be greatly missed

[Yamma]

I kept hoping for better news about his condition - at this point I can only pray for a peaceful passing. He will be deeply missed by many.
