Followup -> WCRFI Donation Campaign

[Towelie]

This is embarassing but I forgot about this until now. A while back we raised some money for WCRFI (World Cancer Research Fund International). Turns out though that we can't donate to them but one of their subsidiaries:

- WCRFI UK
- WCRFI Netherlands
- American Institude for Cancer Research
- World Cancer Research Fund Hong Kong

Please vote which of these subsidiaries we should donate for.
Total money raised: 131.31 EUR

I really wanted to but I ended up short on cash. I am really sorry but wish good luck on all cancer patients and sincerely hope that this little effort could provide them at least a smile on their face. I hope that they could all be cured one day and sincerely wish all the best on them. I cannot feel less sorry for my actions of selfishness.

Depends what you believe but no there is no widely accepted medical "cure" for cancer, money like this goes towards improving treatments, developing possible cures etc.

There is no real "cure" for cancer. There are ways to prevent it and to minimalise it if you get it. Most times they just need to remove your "corrupted" cancer cells and give you treatment to stop it growing. If it has either a. got to big or b. in a place where it is impossible to remove you are in trouble. They are trying to make a breakthrough, but haven't got there yet.

Dependent on what you call cure... If you take chemotherapy as a cure then yea, we have a cure for most cancers. Except... A problem with chemotherapy is that after the process finishes, the cancer cells originally do die out, but the healthy ones before become cancer cells and it just continues. This is why people say there is no "long-term" cure for cancer. Chemotherapy sometimes could also put the patient into more pain or make them die even quicker so you should consider the factors if one day you have to do this decision between curing/not for anyone. One last thing, chemotherapy requires long-term surveillance, after a couple of months between each process, the patient has to visit their doctor again to have a regular check-up.

This is why cancer is so scary.

This is a very useful video I found for you.

Cancer is something close to my heart. Therefore I voted USA, even though I donate monthly to Susan G Komen foundation.

I say that an easy way to prevent cancer is to cut down on smoking and bad eating habits.

Another way to get cancer is by breathing. So everyone should probably stop breathing if they don't want to get cancer.
