You know Jessica I don't think there will be a cure. They make too much money off the treatments and screening.

I am high risk for breast cancer and was screened with MRIs using a toxic-heavy-metal. They are called gadolinium based contrasting agents (GBCAs). I went from being completely healthy to getting this disease called Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) and it is worse than cancer and usually fatal. Everything in my body is turning hard and I will soon be crippled.

This is just a scam to scare woman into getting these expensive tests and then poisoning us and giving us a dibilitating disease. I'm almost unable to walk and soon I will go out on disability because I can't work at a job I love.

Women ultrasounds are the best way to screen. Please don't be sucked into this fear mongering so big companies like GE and Bayer can poison you with these expensive tests like they did to me. I'm suing both of these companies and you can to if they did this to you.

They found gadolinium in my breast tissue. How good is that for baby? Tell me how that is good for preventing cancer. Look it up. I'm telling the truth.

:( I can't believe that happened to you. That is terrible...

While I personally believe there will be a cure, just because I have to... I am not so naive to think that there may be other terrible interests at work in the industry...

But I also think that the interests that are fighting for a cure, the good guys doing the research, should be supported, because if they don't win, then all we have are these alternatives that you mention.

And most of all, I think the women themselves should be supportive, which is why I am promoting this contest so much... it's not even all about the prize, but just the show of support from the membership in posting pink in their journals and coming together. Something about people coming together, even those who don't have personal experience with it, is so moving.

But I believe you when you talk about your experience.

Hi Jessica. I have the most loving and beautiful wife with her head down the toilet right now, throwing up as the results of chemotherapy....

5 years ago she had breast cancer and lost her right breast as a consequence. Since then she has had to take anti cancer meds and just 3months ago the cancer came back again, this time as secondary breast cancer in most of her main organs, more so both her lungs... She is so sick the Dr had to put her in the Hospice, to get her pain levels down and try to help stop her continuing cough as it gives her bad pain. She has three large cancer lesions in her lungs making it extremely painful to cough, let alone breathe...

We started her second go at chemo just 5 weeks ago to try and save her life... hopefully they will shrink all the cancer lesions plus the ones in her bone so we might live a life of disability and frustration, as my wife's lungs will never be the best again and she has never smoked a cigarette in her life...

For her to walk to the toilet, she now has a walker and it's a major effort to get there without the breath she needs to get there, as just months ago it wasn't a problem at all... all her lovely hair is falling out and she is constantly vomiting... Work has left us and now we are both on a disability benefit to scratch up some groceries and heat our house to keep my wife warm...

She did all the right things Jessica, to prevent Breast Cancer and it still got a hold on her and she isn't even 50years old yet.... I wish you could see her as it would change any woman's life...

All the best with your Breast Cancer Awareness and I hope that reading this may give you and your team a glance at what is lurking around the corner....

Take care,
Mike

Jessica, they have tests that detect cancer in the early stages. One called Ovacheck is approved in Europe but not the US. The FDA decided to regulate it as a medical device.

The NIH and the company that has the patent on it teamed up to develop the technology. When the doctors at the NIH realized how powerful the technology was they left the NIH and went to work for competitors of correlogic. Then the FDA decided to regulate as a medical device. Never before in the history of the FDA have they regulated a lab test; especially non-invasive test that only requires a drop of blood.

This is all I needed to hear to understand that cancer research is riddled with corruption. Until we get the corruption out of research there will be no cure. Not now and not in the future. We need to wake up and understand that lots of money is being made treating the symptoms not curing cancer and until we realize what is going on there will be no cure.

I implore people to get involved and understand the grip that big Pharma has on cancer research. We are just profit centers to them. They do not care about us, only their profits.

Please if you care about your mother, sister, cousin, wife or daughters get involved and learn about the corruption that exists. Don't wait for someone you love to die of cancer, get involved. There is no reason what-so-ever why proteomics is not available to the general public when the technology can be used to detect any disease in the earliest stages.

The defense department just used this technology to determine why bees were dying and it worked. It can work for us to detect cancer in the earliest stages. Ovacheck is already developed but the FDA is holding it up. We as taxpayers paid for the development of this technology and we can't get the test in this country but you can Europe. How wrong is that? The FDAs decision set this technology back a decade and economically the United States will suffer for it. We are losing the technology battle to other countries because of the suppression of science.
