Here is some good news for those of us with BC and our loved ones with prostate cancer.  

"GOP congressional candidate Chris Collins knows health care is expensive these days, but he argues it's for good reason: People are no longer dying from deadly forms of cancer.

"People now don't die from prostate cancer, breast cancer and some of the other things," he told The Batavian in an interview that was flagged Tuesday by City & State NY. Collins was discussing his desire to repeal Obamacare.

"The fact of the matter is, our healthcare today is so much better, we're living so much longer, because of innovations in drug development, surgical procedures, stents, implantable cardiac defibrillators, neural stimulators -- they didn't exist 10 years ago," he continued. "The increase in cost is not because doctors are making a lot more money. It's what you can get for healthcare, extending your life and curing diseases."

If this is how a well educated person running for public office sees things, it is no wonder that there isn't more enthusiasm for finding the CURE!

    Yay, politicians could cure MBC.   Honestly, I get a lot of "isn't BC the better cancer to get?" questions from my family PHDs.   We have to do more work pink unwashing...

    It just amazes me when things like this are said by public figures.  Are they so blessed (or just ignorant) that they don't no anybody who has not had a good outcome from cancer?  Not likely.  Perhaps they just aren't paying attention to the 'real world'.
