Prostate Cancer Support
Prostate is diagnosed more than breast cancer. But why isn’t there equal support for prostate cancer ?
Breast Cancer out paced prostate cancer research $548mill to $306 mill according to NCI(National Cancer Institute). Even though there are more diagnoses Prostate Cancer than Breast Cancer by 230,110 new cases to 215,990( www.cancer.org/downloads/MED/Page4.pdf). There fundraisers for breast cancer like the pink ribbon fundraiser which is great but where is the ribbon for prostate cancer ? There are telethons for breast cancer, 10k runs for breast cancer, collection on airline flights for breast cancer. There isn’t equal support for prostate cancer even though prostate is diagnosed more than breast cancer. Why ?Why do we care more about women than men? Does anybody find this disturbing ?
I have to post this every week.
Because breast cancer is deadlier than prostate cancer.
Men die WITH prostate cancer not from it.
They are older when they get it and mostly manage without the expensive treatments. The exception the one type that strikes younger men that one is getting research $$. As it should.
The five year survival rate is 99% and for breast cancer it is now 79%.
As for all of those fundraising efforts – women did that. Men can do the same, no one is stopping you. Hop to it.
