Hi Liz,
Nothing wrong with going off on a tangent so please, no apologies are needed from you for that. I too share the frustration that you feel right now having recently lost my dad to CC in December. Like you, I wish that there were much more treatment options available to patients suffering with this. My dads treatment was PDT and right now, there is a campaign underway here in the UK to raise awareness of and funding for more research and trials using this procedure. The campaign has attracted quite a lot of celebrity backing and their hope is to raise
Just wondering, and I can’t help but get upset.
After reading The Partners for a Cure website, it is sponsored by Pfizer, and Astra Zeneca. The article only spoke of financial mergings and not about what RESEARCH and developments have/will take place. I am just frustrated because my mother passed away from Bile Duct Cancer and I don’t think the chemotherapy helped at all. I think it just made her worse and go downhill faster. She was in Stage four when they found it so there wasn’t much hope. But what I feel is that there HAS to be some treatment other than chemotherapy, that can be developed. Pharmaceutical companies are making so much money on a drug thats a monopoly. I just wish everything wasn’t about money and marketing charades, but RESEARCH AND RESULTS.
Sorry to have gone off on a tangent, but this terrible cancer needs a cure.
Liz
