Is Cancer Research Making a Difference?

Millions of dollars go into cancer research? Is it making a difference? What do you think?

As  Breast Cancer Awareness comes to an end, lots of people donated lots of money for breast cancer research. Lots of people participated in large fundraising events like Making Strides Against Breast Cancer with the American Cancer Society and the Race for a Cure with the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

But where does the money go?  Research!

Is research making a difference?  There are a ton of statistics to be posted here, but before I go there... what's your opinion?

I also wrote a brief article on www.examiner.com/cancer-in-baltimore/anna-renault about a recent research study done about coffee's impact on skin cancer.  Again, what do you think?

Let me know and I'll be back to post more info!
