I believe in hope and optimism as much as anyone. However, I find that I am offended by false hope and a form of bogus "empowerment" that borders on silliness--especially when there may be an agenda attached. Ms. Redgrave's ad is, I think, a perfect example. I've provided my thoughts at www.shamblog.com. Please feel free to join the discussion.

I wish all of you SINCERE hope in this battle.

    How odd~ I did NOT check out your blog, nor do I intend to. I saw Ms. Redgrave's ad just 2 days after seeing your posting here on our site. What my friends know about me is that I have said almost VERBATIM what Ms. Redgraves message says~ that no matter what any "official" document may say my cause of death is, ( including BC) my circle knows I actually died of dancing, laughing, fun, and its resultant exhaustion!

    That I had surgery, chemo and radiation~ none of which was a picnic, (and that for all I know, some of my drugs are indeed products of Squibb) I say THANK GOD I live in a country and era when these treatment options are available. I shudder to think of having had to do battle with this beast in the 1900's.....and I dare say that Ms Redgrave's attitude, even one compensated by Squibb-Meyers, is one most of us here on the BC boards wish not only for her, but for each one of us.
