Well, here’s one you (probably) can’t blame on Donald Trump: even the Canadian government is
short-changing ovarian cancer research.
Ovaries and prostates develop from the same swatch of fetal
tissue (I seem to have read somewhere), and both are subject to deadly cancers –
yet our Northern Neighbors allocate over twice as much money to prostrate
problems as to OVCA. Not good.
Some Canadian women have organized to do something about
this. They want more support for OVCA
research (not less for PRCA, for Heaven’s sake!). Bless their efforts. What say, Parkfriend?
The new Canadian budget has hundreds of references to 'gender equity'. Hundreds. So hopefully this results in better funding! (Who are the Canadian women you mention?)
ReplyDeleteCan't rightly say who they are: see first sentence of the Globe Newswire article cited.
DeleteNo doubt our Donald would have fired off a tweet about them by now. You Canadians are SO SLOW!
Always good to read everything before commenting! I noticed that in the group photo, they were all wearing teal ribbons, and--I haven't seen this before--two of the women were 'signing' ovaries.
