Families fighting childhood cancer should not have to worry about where they're going to get the next dose of the drug they need to save their child's life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In too many cases, the moms, the dads, the sisters and brothers of children with cancer must stand by a hospital bed and watch helplessly as this horrible disease consumes the life of an innocent child.
Parents are key when it comes to keeping kids off drugs. Good parenting is the best anti-drug we have.
Unfortunately, cancer is the number one killer of children in this country today, and it destroys not only these innocent victims, but their families as well.
We know that if we can prevent kids from trying drugs in their teenage years, we dramatically reduce the likelihood that they will go on to have problems later in life.
If our society continues to support basic research on how living organisms function, it is likely that my great grandchildren will be spared the agony of losing family members to most types of cancer.
This was a result of a number of factors, but we do know that the messages kids get about the harms of drugs has a significant impact on their decision on whether or not to use.
Reducing the price of cancer drugs is a humanitarian move.
Many children with cancer in the developing world can be cured. But without appropriate treatment, few survive.
Every day we do get closer to a cure. Three out of four children who are diagnosed with cancer will survive the disease, but that is not good enough. The loss of one child to this disease is too much.
When a person has cancer, the whole family really suffers with her.
