I'm sorry Teppy, but you're so brave for sticking with it. Is there anything we can do to support you?
I'm halfway through the whole30 today, and all I want to do is eat a pound of mac and cheese and a quart of ice cream and then sleep for a week.

Rusty chainsaw, meet cancer. And FUCK OFF.
If only there was a profit in CURING cancer instead of just "raising awareness" and creating expensive drugs that only "treat" it.

There are so many different kinds of cancer, I don't think there's just one cure.

I know Connie. There is just no incentive, other than a healthy populous, to curing any of them. And all parties concerned have clearly shown that they are most interested in profit.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Why wouldn't there be profit in a cure, at least for the more common types of cancer?

Suzi, there would totally be profit in a cure. But "cancer" is super complex and even any given type ("breast", "lung") is so different and everyone responds differently to different things. They'd charge an arm and a leg for it (see cure for Hep C) but if we were able to find a cure, they'd totally do that.
