American Cancer Society

[Guest guest]

I don't know about you folks but I went to the Am cancer society as well as a

friend recently and got almost nothing as a way of help.

 

They were VERY nice and offered encouragement and would pay a small amount to

help cover milage to the dr , If I would jump through hoops. But all and all on

a one on one basis, Personally I saw no help for someone with no insurance and

could work for almost a year.

 

And the research usually goes to the pharmacuticals anyway if they find

something.

 

So am I wrong here I see no reason to promote or support them.

I personally try to help others on a one on one basis .

And like we are all doing here helping each other find a way to help each other

to fight this awful stuff!!

 

Hate to sound so negiative but to say HELP  " THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY "

Sounds good but bottom line what to they do for the real guy folks like us that

actually have or have had the stuff.

 

If they found a cure or something that works , who gets it? us? no the

pharmacuital industry , and they in turn make a killing off it and charge us a

big fee to get it.

 

Is there something I am missing here?

 

Sorry just was extremely disapointed in the help or lack of it that I got , and

now a friend.

seems like a big empty hope, and just the people that work for them make hugh

salaries.

Hello everyone~

My name is Sherry and I am new to the group. I wanted to let you all

know that I am putting together a cancer awareness talent show for next

month. The proceeds from the event will go to the American Cancer

Society. I decided to put this together after a friend told me that

the doctors thought she had cancer in six different places. The good

part is that it was a misdiagnosis. The bad part is that she still has

lots of medical issues.

The website for my benefit is www.end-cancer- now.com. I will have

performances from cancer survivors as well as local talent. I hope to

raise more of an awareness of cancer. Thanks!
