Breast Cancer Breast Cancer Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Daily Life From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer Politics seems to be all about money, but it should be about people. And curing cancer should be all about people, but it takes lots of money. So what should you do? Vote in your national elections, and donate carefully. Make your dollars count and your voice heard. Do Your Homework, Go Out and Vote Those of us who live in America are about to have a national election. We go through this process every four years and somehow we survive it! A big part of participating in our democracy is voting - I've cast my ballot - and I urge you to do the same. It's a tight race and many issues may affect you.

Some of your purchases result in more benefits than others. Learn how to follow the money and be sure your money goes to support the cure. Not all that's green turns into pink benefits for patients.

Here are some ways to avoid a cancer fraud, and ways to deal with one, if you spot one. We need to avoid cancer con artists because our donations should always go to the genuine patients.
