Un Eff N Real
My very good friend passed away from brain cancer two years ago.
"I thought I had brain cancer and was curing it."
Yeah, my head is exploding and all the words I can come up with are four letter at their base, though there are variations with "er" and similar things at the end.

I do hope people will watch this ...
thanks Ann for posting. My eldest brother died of a glioblastoma brain tumor so I found this disturbing but necessary to see. On so many different levels this story is a cautionary tale. Obviously, this woman is truth-challenged and has been extraordinarily deceptive, taking advantage of vulnerable individuals with cancer. I wonder if she suffers from a delusional disorder or if she actually was consciously deceptive. It is all so unbelievable.
When one is confronted with cancer it is so enticing to want to believe some of the alternative therapies and treatments espoused by individuals that promise cures ... the sad thing is that if the individuals promoting these treatments are dishonest about treatment success and prey on the vulnerable it destroys the optimism for patients to try unconventional treatments that actually may be promising.
Curious that this happened in Australia ... what with the Grace Gawler Institute there and other supposedly 'integrated cancer solutions' ... seems folks other than oncologists have found a way to make money from vulnerable cancer patients in my opinion.
Peace ~ Daisy

Here's a better example:coloCan said:Check this out to be utterly stunned:
It was just announced that over the past three months one candidate for president in the 2016 election had raised 45 million dollars.;, 15 million a month,one candidate of over a dozen. How much money do ALL the cancer orgs amass in a year?
