Did y'all see them last night on SU2C? I must have one of those "the Who stands up 2 cancer" t-shirts!
I was really troubled by two things in the broadcast: they made it sound like cures are happening all the time, and there was almost nothing on colon cancer (yet again) when it is the number two killer. Oh, and I was uncomfortable that it seems big pharma is sneaking its tentacles into the SU2C effort. But it is still a great, great effort to get some good research funded!

The reason they don't mention colon cancer is that…wait for it….
