Re: 鈥淎unt鈥檚 $250K gift to fight ovarian cancer,鈥� Sept. 26.
I saw the article on ovarian cancer and the kind donation made to ovarian-cancer research by Patty Pitts. The outlook for ovarian-cancer research needs to improve, Pitts says.
How true. We need to see more concrete results in cancer treatment overall.
I am mad, also. I lost my beautiful daughter this year to what started out as thyroid cancer 15 years ago, then spread to her lymph nodes, then to her spine and bones. She died a horrible, painful, lingering death this year.
Treatment goes through all the old tried and failed crap that doesn鈥檛 work. With all the millions of dollars donated to research, much better results have to be demanded. All we ever hear from cancer research is about what looks promising, testing, trials, etc., then we never hear about it again. Tell us when you have something that works.
Sorry about my rant, but it hurts.
