Choosing to live a few weeks longer with a major illness which demands pretty much dawn to dusk attention of one kind or another is, in my opinion, self-inflicted CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.

Who in their right mind would choose to EXIST for a few more weeks under these circumstances? Better the $93,000 be spent on seeking psychiatrict help to learn to accept that DEATH IS PART OF LIFE, UNAVOIDABLE AT ANY PRICE, and is NOTHING TO FEAR.

Better yet… donate the $93,000 to your favorite charity… then DIE. You’ve had your life… make room for others.

Good grief! How can anyone old enough to get terminal prostate cancer not have successfully dealt with the reality of their own death by that time?

I feel so sorry for those whose ignorance and fear of death is so profound they’d rather spend all their waking hours in pain and suffering, or worse, unconscious, attached to every life support system known to medical science, than to just say goodbye and LEAVE. Have these people lived their entire lives with their heads in the sand?

further screwing of the public by “sickness” industry

Diet and lifestyle prevent prostate cancer for free. For advanced cancer?  I guess
that’s different, but this shouldn’t become standard treatment.  Vaccines are
largely a scam already.  Any mention of side effects?  Witness the swine flu
pandemic nonsense that fleeced taxpayers for BILLIONS.  Can’t even trust the
scientists anymore.  Witness Monsanto and GM technology.  A total fabrication,
doesn’t work at all as advertised - yet it is official government policy.  Because
corporate America says it’s SCIENCE.  Lie lie lie.  then cover it with Statistics and
doctored studies.  Please do some articles on bio-tech.

According to the study that was conducted, men with prostate cancer that could not be treated with surgery, traditional chemotherapy or radiation and who were given this new drug lived approximately 4 to 4½ months longer than similarly situated men who were given a placebo.  That’s roughly $23,000 for each extra month of living (not counting any other medical care received during that time).  It will be interesting to see if this becomes a political issue because almost all of the men in the US with untreatable prostate cancer are over 65 and thus eligible for Medicare.

Call me a cheapskate but for $93,000 I want a CURE. This “showing promise in extending the lives” is simply not good enough for that price.

This sounds like metaspeak for “we don’t guarantee this will do anything for your prostate cancer including extending your life. But give us the money so we can both test it to see.”

What a scam.
