Reply #3: So sorry to hear of your friend's passing [View All]

He sounds like a wonderful person and it certainly was a tragic loss.

His situation is another tragic example of why we need to have access to affordable health care for all and full funding for cancer research.

Just as researchers are making some of the most important breakthroughs in cancer research in our lifetime, they're being told to cut back on research and stop accruing patients for clinical trials. Treatments that may cure many cancers are being "put on the shelf" because the federal government doesn't want to pay the price to complete research.

Give yourself some time to mourn your friend, then get involved and fight, if you feel up to it.
