Sure it is publicized but why not give a little hope to someone with, say, stage four cancer rather than telling him he will die soon? What are those treatments that are not being used that you would rather be front and center in the treatment of cancer?
So what would you have recommended for my mother who died at 33 with metastatic breast cancer? My parents tried all kinds of things and ended with surgery, chemo, and radiation. She died after a five year fight in extreme pain.
Treatments are much better now. My youngest sister died of metastatic breast cancer after a 10 year fight at 41. My next older sister was doing well after a 10 year fight but died in a traffic accident at 50. One of my brothers died at 69 from esophageal cancer due to Barrett Esophagus after a fight of a year. My next to youngest brother is currently being treated for anal-rectal cancer and my youngest brother is being treated for precancerous Barrett esophagus by those hated government doctors at a VA hospital. Just two of us so far without cancer, though my 10 month younger brother, whom I don't talk to due to a identity theft he did on me resulting in my losing a few hours of liberty when arrested because of it, and a long time alcoholic and drug addict, he will outlive all of us. Maybe alcohol and illegal drugs is the way to go for prevention of cancer?

Your hateful quip about oncologists is disgusting. Why would one want someone treated for a non existent disease unless he is misguided mentally for wanting that.

There are so many "awareness" events that the real problem became trivialized. At work, they organize Breast Cancer marches, HIV marches, all kinds of marches.

I was always wondering how the marching helps anybody? But I did not ask because that would not have been considered PC.

HIV Hopelessly Imitating Veracity was debunked a quarter of a century ago as the cause of AIDS. See my upload at https://youtube.com/watch?v=I1Q56pz7BDI and I will upload my copy of the book it refers to if I know I am safe in so doing.

And if ACS American Confabulation Syndicate told the truth that abortions increased the risk of breast cancer, then pro-abortion donors would stop their gifts. I think ACS has sold out.

Note for the uninformed: If you have Askenasi blood in your family, get screened. Pancreatic cancer is very prevalent. My mother died from it.

As I understand this Breast Awareness group, they are raising money, not to treat cancer, but to make us aware of it. Isn't that just super?

Please spend the next decade studying medical science and then come back with a cogent comment.
