As I said. We have very good survival rates in Australia.

Early Checking is rarely accurate or effective, nor does it in anyway improve mortality rates for breast cancer (there have been several studies showing this, just look at adelaide where almost 20,000 women were diagnosed incorrectly or not at all).

I do appreciate the Mcgrath Foundation funding nurses. Too much money goes to finding a cure that won't ever exist (I get this idea from a lecture I listened to from the guy heading Cancer research in the United States who has a $5billion/year budget and he says we should focus funds on treatment not prevention/cure).

In the end if people want to shave their head to show solidarity I appreciate that, however funds can go to much better methods of supporting those with cancer than to the research field which just burns it like dried grass.

Again apologies to anyone taking any pain from my post. I don't mean it to be personal against anyone.
Your post is a disgrace, having a son battling cancer I struggle to see your points of view, until you have been there and battled this hideous decease I suggest you keep your mouth closed on this subject, to see people supporting you whilst going through treatment in anyway shape or form is one of the greatest feelings one could ever imagine, if people choose to shave their heads, wear pink clothing, run walk or ride ridiculous distances is because they care and have a heart, something I feel you lack, your negative view is something people have been fighting against for years, the words "think positive" obviously are not in your vocabulary.
