Flooded with cancer ads and articles on TV.....
Why?
And what's with the huge long TV advert about how we are beating cancer? Is THAT what I give money to them for? To pay advertising fees on TV?
I'm also upset to see so much about how we are winning, when I have lost friends to cancer....only ONE person I know survived.

My mum did the race for life runs for years...2 or 3 years ago she stopped when she found out how little they actually recieve after everyone has skimmed it.
I can't remember the exact % they get but it was shameful how little they recieve

Those advertising campaigns can't be cheap, then the 'admin' salaries too.
Also while having a moan about TV ads.
We get bombarded with gambling, alcohol, and far to much about womens week aids.
Gambling advertising seems to be getting out of hand though.

The guys in that Czech hospital that the Southampton kid went to said that their treatment gave a 70-80% survival rate which stunned me. I thought he was given months only?

I think the point is whether they are advertising to raise funds for more advertising - if the majority of cash is diverted to this then it's as good for research as not advertising at all.

Therefore they will know when, where and how often to advertise to maximise donations.

Or it could just be that they need to pay the CEO's £140k base salary somehow (Cancer Research)!

But they are wining Jeff, that is a fact. Far more people survive now from cancer than they did even 15-20 years ago, my wife being one of them. She was lucky in that we have Velindre hospital close to us where she was treated. This hospital carries out a lot of the UK's research into curing cancer, a huge part of which is paid funded by cancer charities.

I find it confusing to say the least, and just before anyone takes offence, its a genuine question.
We have the cancer charity's who are asking for money to fund research for cures .
We have the drugs company's who carry out research for a cure & manufacture drugs for the cures.
So what do the cancer charity's do with the info and research they carry out? Do they sell that info to drugs company's? do they manufacturing drugs / cures..
Do they give the info foc to the pharma company's who then make the drugs?
if they dont make drugs and cures and just research, what benefit is that?
