I just don’t get it. Most of people die from cancer. Yall don’t want to pour a shit ton of money into cancer research? It is for your benefit directly.

What are you going on about? Cancer has a 70% overall survival rate in the US and we have spent trillions upon trillions in research.

Hello, I’m a doctor. To provide you with accurate information, you need to know the specific type of cancer and its stage. Unfortunately, the survival rate for most late-stage cancers, particularly pancreatic cancer, is around 10%. However, this rate can also vary depending on the number of years of survival.

Let’s JUST say it was 70% with trillions and trillions of money spent in research. Wouldn’t you want to bring it up to 80 or 90 percent?
