I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call him +2349055637784 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.

Thank you for taking the time to ...Dear Anonymous. Thank you for taking the time to post these comments. Indeed, education, screening and treatment programs are important dimensions in diagnosing and treating for breast cancer. Komen's tagline is "for the Cure" and their stated mission is to "end breast cancer forever". It is my opinion that a cure and prevention of breast cancer will only come from research. I am sure that if you asked most people who donate to Komen why they do so, they would tell you it is because they want to see a cure for breast cancer. I am not attacking Komen's work in the areas of education, screening, and treatment, and nor am I attacking the work of the many Komen volunteers. I am simply asking the question of whether we believe Komen's research program allocation of 25% is enough to realize their stated mission of "ending breast cancer forever". Do you think 25% is enough?CancerCultureChronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650364997423007994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093171013716050318.post-10209017025762723622011-01-29T18:05:14.246-05:002011-01-29T18:05:14.246-05:00From Kathy LaTour (Cure Today Magazine) Oct 2010 b...From Kathy LaTour (Cure Today Magazine) Oct 2010 blog: <br /><br />Here are some facts about Komen and the money they raise.<br /><br />The 127 races that are held by Komen affiliates around the world raise a lot of money--yes.

The drug options for metastatic women are indeed a minefield. I'm onto my third option in less than a year, and it just feels like we're running down a list. More art than science. Why? Because there's such a limited understanding of how to stop mets once they begin and how to prevent them in the first place. This is why I am speaking out about the research issue. The current research situation is a disgrace, and it's not good enough that for many mets women, becoming a lab-rat is their only option.CancerCultureChronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650364997423007994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093171013716050318.post-28340911491870500072011-01-27T22:51:55.457-05:002011-01-27T22:51:55.457-05:00Please note that there is a group specifically ded...Please note that there is a group specifically dedicated to metastatic breast cancer research: It's called Metavivor: www.metavivor.org.<br /><br />Last year this Annapolis, MD-based group raised $50,000 to fund the work of Dr. Danny Welch, a UAB researcher--he was the one that pointed in the NYT that MBC accounts for 90% of the morbitity/mortality but gets 5% of breast cancer funding. <br /><br />The Metavivor financial statement is this simple: $50,000 raised and 100 percent of those funds investedin MBC research. <br /><br />Anna, as an MBC woman do you ever feel at odds with the advocate groups? Some women tried 5, 7, even 10 chemos. They have only experimental options. How does that jibe with the methodical drug review process advocated new drugs?

And thanks for m...Terrific, informative blog Anna. And thanks for mentioning NBCC. We feel the same frustration. NBCC has had ending breast cancer as its mission since 1991. Though we've had successes with our goals of increasing federal research, increasing access to care, and increasing the influence of advocates, we haven't seen progress in lowering deaths from the disease. We agree with you that research is the key to ending breast cancer. But we also believe the current system and focus of resources isn't going to get us there. It won't just take more research but the right research. Because of our frustration at the lack of progress we chose to set a deadline for the end of breast cancer - January 1, 2020 - and have developed a strategic plan to make it happen. We believe that ending breast cancer means learning how to interrupt or prevent metastasis and learning how to prevent the disease all together. So we are organizing Summits in these two areas and bringing together leaders in science, industry, government, and advocacy to prioritize the most important research questions. And we won't stop there. In 2012, we plan to hold catalytic workshops with scientists to get the work done on answering the key questions. To learn much more about our Deadline work and to get involved, please consider attending our Advocacy Training Conference April 30 - May 3 in Washington DC. Scholarships are available. <br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/45gp6fLaura Nikolaides, NBCC Director of Research & Quality Care Programshttp://www.stopbreastcancer.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093171013716050318.post-49493999069511475942011-01-26T14:10:24.259-05:002011-01-26T14:10:24.259-05:00Great post, brilliant use of a calculator.

My goal in all of this is to let the numbers speak for themselves. I'm not against Komen, but I am against the % that they allocate to research. It's just not enough. It's not too late for Komen to change tactics and strategies and really harness the power of the goodwill they have built up over the last thirty years. If only they would engage, listen and answer our questions. Research IS the only way we can end breast cancer forever, and whilst they're at it, it would be nice if they could throw a little more change to metastatic breast cancer research. Nationwide, mets receive less than 2% of research funding.

Personally, I think Komen is hardly living up to what they profess to be doing. I say, if "For the Cure" is part of your moniker, then you better be about finding a cure. Even the amount spent or "research" doesn't really say anything. What the heck is being researched? Treatment and CURE are two totally different things. And I'm a six-year survivor who lost my mother to this stupid disease, so trust me, I'm aware.

It's so hard to be critical of the big K, because on the one hand it feels ungrateful, but on the other hand, clearly they are not funding research "for the cure" adequately. Plus, I agree with Jody about IBS and METS. Komen seems so focused on early detection and while that is great and necessary, it's not "the cure" as you continue to point out. Voices are starting to be heard. Just last night I saw a piece on our local news where a woman was taking issue with the big K (and I don't mean Kmart). She wanted to do a fundraiser and use the phrase "Mush for a Cure" and had been blocked by K. It was really eye opening. Anyway, keep making noise because I think people are starting to listen and maybe K will make some changes??? Eventually??? Thanks for the work on this.

I propose a research organization dedicated to the eradication of metastatic breast cancer, as Komen clearly doesn't have this at the forefront of its mission.<br /><br />With earlier, more preventatble cases of breast cancer? Yes. They have made terrific headway in that arena.<br /><br />Last fall, I did some research on inflammatory breast cancer. Of all the breast cancer clinical trials, there was only a smattering dedicated to IBC, a highly aggressive, tho rare, form of breast cancer. This is another terrible case of 'whack-the-mole.' Researchers go where the dollars are. It's time we raise our voice for women with metastatic breast cancer.
