OT - Cancer petition

In the past year a number of people on this group have mentioned that
someone in their family has been fighting cancer. My niece is one of
them... she has stage IV ovarian cancer.

There is a movement to have the Post Office issue an awareness stamp similar
to the one they have done for breast cancer. It begins with gathering
petitions.

If you would like to sign this petition, please go to
http://www.petitiononline.com/ovca2007/petition.html It only takes a few
seconds.

There are few families who have not been affected by cancer in one form or
another. Please consider signing this petition.

That is a great idea! Our daughter, 47, had breast cancer, and is now
recovering from it. We took a cruise last month out of Galveston to
celebrate her recovery, and it was a great trip. She is doing extremely
well, and after her hair came out from the chemo and radiation, it came back
in black and curly. It was dark brown and straight. Everything we do to
help these young people and old people to recover from cancer, is a good
thing. By the way, I had cancer of the cervix in 1963, and had a partial
hysterectomy, and I am still here and doing fantastic, at age 77! M.B.

Done. I can't think of any family that hasn't had some affect of this
dreaded disease. My sister-in-law is recovering from lung cancer, and
one of my nieces begins chemo tomorrow.

I really cannot see any utility to such a petition. Particularly one
which focuses on a particular form of cancer. Where does Ovarian fall
in the frequency of cancers?

It's plenty frequent, as is breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer,
lymphoma, and all other forms of cancer. Signing the petition can't
hurt and hopefully, it could help. Something needs to help!!!

It can hurt. It can cause a focus on just that one kind of cancer and
then expense on that one kind that results in the situation we have with
breast cancer and prostate cancer where the more common one gets much
less funding.
