Welcome!
I hope that “A Short Primer on Why Cancer Still Sucks” gives you a better understanding of cancer. In addition, this book is a call to action. There has been far too little attention paid to the issues that unnecessarily delay access to effective new therapies and that drive up the cost of these therapies. Please contact your elected representatives if you agree with me on this. Please also visit our sister website at www.lifesavingtherapies.com.

Why Cancer Still Sucks
...Plus the crabby details!
Have you ever wondered why cancer remains such a dreadful illness? Why is it so common? How can you reduce your cancer risk? Why is screening not better at finding cancers early? How does cancer make people feel so sick?
How do different types of treatment work, why might they fail, and how do they cause side effects? What role does our immune system play?
