Congress is working on funding appropriations for various needs and cancer research/prevention programs are a major need.
I was diagnosed with 5 tumors in 2018…3 were cancerous. After 3 surgeries, chemo, radiation, I was declared cancer-free, July 18th, 2019. My treatment plan was based on research scientists’ fact-based evidence, testing, group studies/meta analyses, and creation of effective cancer medications that I studied, to make an educated, effective decision for my care. Of course, my oncologists are very knowledgeable on current treatments. I know why and how my tumors developed…thanks to the years of information-research-studies available to peruse on the EPA, CDC, NIH-National Cancer Institute, WHO, ACS, and ALA websites. Cancer is a horrendous disease and increased federal funding is desperately needed for continuous research and prevention programs. Will you step up and add your name to a petition asking for more funding? The website, https://www.fightcancer.org has information or if you prefer, social media information is on Facebook under American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. Please help to end cancer and thank you for stepping up.
