    Its nice what they did for her...but she was already lucky to have a caring husband and children. Some people have absolutely no family and no children and they have to rely on themselves to go to work, drive themselves to the hospital and take care of the house and everything else. I wasnt able to have children and have no family. The hospital looks down on you if you dont have anyone to drive you and pick you up after a procedure. Its those people that need some extra help with just a ride...or even just a day to relax and sleep and not worry about getting fired for calling in sick because you are too tired. Thats not even mentioning the loss of wages for being sick. Forget about meeting a singer.

    More than 40 years after the war on cancer was declared, we have spent billions fighting the good fight. The National Cancer Institute has spent some $90 billion on research and treatment during that time. Some 260 nonprofit organizations in the United States have dedicated themselves to cancer-more than the number established for heart disease, AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, and stroke combined. Together, these 260 organizations have budgets that top $2.2 billion.
    As a result, we know much more about the disease than we once did, but we are not much closer to curing it. From 1975 to 2007, breast cancer rates increased by one third and prostate cancer rates soared by 50 percent. Widespread screening played a significant role in detecting these cases, making direct comparisons difficult. Still we clearly have a problem. Almost 1.6 million people were diagnosed with cancer in 2011. Meanwhile, the rates of certain cancers are rising. An upward trend is especially apparent in kidney, liver, and thyroid cancer and in melanoma and lymphoma. The steady increase in the incidence of childhood leukemia and brain cancer since the mid-1970s is a particularly alarming trend. When have Americans ever waged such a long, drawn-out, and costly war, with no end in sight?
