ginnyde Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 They have announced where 73 million dollars of grant money from the Stand Up To Cancer drive is going. 5 research facilities are getting the money. Of the 5, 2 are for breast cancer and 1 is for pancreatic cancer. I don't see any mention as to a specific cancer on the other 2. This is wrong, just wrong. I am mad that we have so many young people, especially women with young children, that are suffering with this dreadful, under funded, disease. I am mad as hell.

Marci Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi Ginny, Me too mad as hell! I remember watching it on TV with my Mom that night and believing that this was a change to come. Wow - what a kick in the stomach to all those who believed them. Marci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyW Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 A travesty and injustice to all who have suffered Lung cancer has been committed by this. I cant even start right now I cant see straight!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianew Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I just heard about this and am soooo mad. I watched it, and actually donated money. I want my money back!! Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyjohn Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 This is the same old same old I think we should let them know that from now on there are those of us who will only donate if we know it is going to Lung Cancer research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchurchi Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 This is why I only donate to the Cancer Center Alan was treated at. They have a complete Lung Cancer Team. They sponsor low cost early lung cancer screening. I sit on the Cancer Center board just to be sure there is a voice for lung cancer patients and their families. I have found National campaigns are NOT the way to go, and refuse to donate to any National fund. I at least have a small voice in how my dollars are spent with my local cancer center.

Maryanne Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 This really sucks big time. We should be used to this by now as its always the same outcome. But we will never stop trying to get this out there. Thank G-d for Lungevity! Ginny, I am sooooo mad too! Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
