2010 deaths from breast cancer 39,840 women 390 men

2010 new cases of prostrate cancer 217,730 men
2010 deaths from prostrate cancer 32,050 men


FY 2010 federal funding for breast cancer research: $870M
FY 2010 federal funding for prostrate cancer research: $390M

3. i care. it started last year, me getting angry at pink month. but this year

i have actually started voicing it.

i am bothered that breast cancer gets a month of pink and all the other cancers are ignored. i made exactly this point just the other day.

but, you need a link.

4. Prostate

If you Google "prostrate" - which means to lie face down on the ground - you get hits for prostate. I even came across this:

The prostrate gland wraps around the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder . . .

Face down on the ground - prostrate

But you can sleep well knowing how much better you are than I.

10. Care about the topic, care enough to spell it correctly. I mean, really, . . .

it's not just some random typo after all - it's the topic of your OP.

I wouldn't care about "beast" cancer either.

I also believe that if someone made that typographical error, they'd fix it.

edit for typo. :rofl:

15. What I find pathetic is how wearing a pink ribbon has become a replacement to...

real activism on women's rights
