I thought I was the only one! I lost my mom to ACC in October 2005, after a short 6 month battle and every time I see a pink ribbon I want to hit something. I told my husband I felt guilty about it,but not anymore. They have enough support. WE NEED TO FIND OUR OWN EMBLEM.

However, is chemo really the solution to cancer in general? I believe vaccines and immune approaches are the future, and they're not specific to one cancer but to all. For many people, chemo is just a slower more painful death. What about approaches the support the immune systems' ability to deal with deadly cancers? There are lots of strange 'spontaneous remission' stories that lead me to believe there are different approaches available that will ultimately do the job better. Please don't focus on chemo. New approaches are emerging.

Breast cancer got a boost when Kylie Monigue got it. She is a entertainer in Australia that lives in UK or somewhere like that. Our newspaper were full of that stuff for weeks.
