If only slightly more (relatively speaking) women die of breast cancer than men die of prostate cancer...?

... then why is it that government spends almost twice as much funding breast cancer research than prostate cancer research?





And don't tell me that it's because women have two breasts, because it only takes one to kill you. (I wouldn't have to make this demand if it weren't for the fact that I anticipate this very comment.)

The truth is that women who advocate for breast cancer are far more organized than men have been for prostate cancer research. It is not just prostate cancer or mens cancer that has been harmed by the media hype surrounding breast cancer . . children and young adults have also had cancer research funding cut. There really is no way to make the political machine fair for all types of cancers. Research dollars are limited and the people with the loudest voice and the best organization will get the prize. It is not fair, but life is not fair. All I can say to you is that at least there is some research being done for prostate cancer . . I have a son with a rare abdominal sarcoma and there is no research being done for his disease at all. I really do not expect there to be any either and the best we can do is support a general research on all sarcoma . . of which there is little funding. The sarcoma community has been organizing and hopefully will find a louder voice:

If you feel strongly about Prostate cancer research you should join a group to have your voice heard too.





Best to you.
