My Dad Shrank from 220 Lbs. to 73 Lbs. From Prostate Cancer. But, I Don't Care.?

I still make sure that my money goes in the jar for breast cancer research. Well, occasionally I might give a tiny bit to support prostate cancer research.





I think it's funny that breast cancer research gets almost 10 times as much money as prostate cancer.





I trust you stuff the breast cancer jar too. Right? Are you just like me?





Oh, of course he died.

The Lord knows your pain . Do you know the Lord's pain after seeing you post this ?





BTW, I lost my father to similar circumstances , but I didn't take the approach that you're taking . Stop ! Think ! Pray !
Reply:You sound like a cold hearted son at best. Pray you never get prostate cancer then you will be wishing more people gave to that. All cancer is bad. You need to grow up and get some help for the hate you still feel for your dead father.
Reply:David As a Woman I do care about the Guys in my life. The Breast cancer groups have 20 years of Organizatrion behind them. Not their fault, just get organized. Women are Like race cars we are always in the Shop and preening daily ( breast are very visible!) Men are Like VW beetles If they start in the morning, no man just drives in for a check up! Lung Cancer kills more Women than Breast cancer. Lung cancer kills more men than Prostate cancer too. I am sorry About your DAD but your anti Female rant is a bit much.
Reply:If you're trying to promote Breast Cancer awareness, that's one thing........ but to act so cold about your father's death (if this little story is even true) is not the way to go about it. If your story is true, maybe this is your way of "dealing" with the pain and loss of your father, which we all experience, no matter what kind of father he was. I do think prostate cancer should get equal billing and support..... men are just as important as women.
Reply:My mother had breast cancer twice, and she is still here 20 years later, so thank god for breast cancer research, your demons with your father and yourself are for you to deal with and need to be left off of YA., I pray for a cure of all cancer.
Reply:I think it is sad. That you gripe on here but, what have YOU done to aid in awareness about prostate cancer? How many fund raisers have you hosted? How many letters and e-mails have you written? How many people have you educated about prostate cancer?


Education is the key, not fund raising. If more people were aware, they would donate funds for research.


Use you anger and outrage to make a difference, not just to vent on Q%26amp;A.
Reply:There are several reasons that breast cancer research gets more funding than prostate cancer.


It affects both sexes


There are more instances of breast cancer than prostate cancer


Women in general are to do monthly self checks and mammograms yearly at 35


Where as prostates don't typically get checked until age 38-40, and a LOT of men will refuse the screening due to the way its done.


Prostate cancer is still a "newer" form of cancer, so people are less informed


There are more private organizations formed by survivors of breast cancer than there are of prostate.





Is it fair? NO. But my advice to you is to take your pain and direct it in a more positive area. Start your own campaign, organization, or charity. Help bring more awareness to the public, and help possibly save more lives.


It only takes one person to make a difference.
