Why is this the least researched cancer?  Why is the research back were breast cancer research was in the 1930's?  Last time I checked it's 2009!  My mom is fighting, fighting strong, but I am mad.  Mad that there are not as many choices with this compared to any other cancer.  It's my mom, and I love her so much I hate to see this all happen in our lives.  I need to express my anger, and this is where I can I guess.  My whole life has stopped because of my mom and my love for her.  I hate that there isn't more i can do.  I HATE PC CANCER!

Dear Frustrated,

I feel your pain, also. and I agree!! Maybe if a few more high level celebrities get this terrible disease more attention will be focused on it. We went MD Anderson. We had trouble getting in, I think because of our Insurance. WE were out of network. I had heard great stories and had high hopes, but we were not impressed. They basically told us what we already knew. We had stage 4 PC with mets in the liver and lungs. We returned home and began chemo. Surgery was not an option. That was in Sept. 08. We are still fighting. My wife has lost a lot of weight and has  gone down hill some. WE have had gemzar, cisplatin, tarceva, oxaliplatin, and now back to gemzar and xeloda. Keep fighting and don't give up. I love my wife with all my heart and am every bit as mad and frustrated as you are. Never give up!!!!!
