    cancer is one fucked up thing.. our governments spend billions fighting a man in a cave and yet we cant cure cancer?

    fucked up

    I read about that. I hope she recovers well.

    My aunt had a double mastectomy. When they rebuilt her chest from spare tissues elsewhere, she would show everyone the new twins. They were not pretty! :eek: However, it was nice to see my aunt had recovered so well and was happy with what she had.

    If they released all the cures for they already have for all these diseases, how will they control the population?

    You are kidding, right? That is one "conspiracy theory" that I just won't, can't and will not buy. There are new drugs and technologies released each and every year for BC (and other cancers, but I am not "in the know" on those). There are people working their asses off to find ways to stop or halt the growth of breast cancer. I am a beneficiary of one of those--Dr. Slamon, who helped invent Herceptin.

    I know that sometimes it's hard to resist just posting something to post, and I truly don't mean to be a bitch, but come on.

    I still want YOU to take care. :)

    Why not start a thread for everyone that has cancer? I mean I think it's terrible and all that she has it and I feel for her I do (hits home) but what makes her special?
    Um, maybe a lot of people know her face and name?

    Christina Applegate=Kelly bundy! if you grew up in the 80's, she's an icon. People loved that show and are sorry to hear she went through this, myself included.

    I don't think it's a "population control" as you said in XFiles type fashion but I do think they make a ton of money off chemo/cancer drugs and AIDS also.

    And my grandmother and my stepfather both died from cancer (lung and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma)

    Agreed, dunk. Cancer sucks and we seem to have our perspectives all out of whack

    Sorry but I believe it. I also believe the government know's exactly what's causing people to develop this disease and they're just not doing anything about it. People are quick to pin cancer on smoking and sure it's a cause of it but I know MANY people with the disease that have never smoked in their life.

    I could go on forever but I won't, it's just what I believe. This stuff just doesn't show up out of nowhere.
