I FINALLY HAVE IT CANCER RESEARCH UK BUDGET/SPENDING ACCOUNT DETAILS IF U DONT WANT TO READ IT ALL JUST SCOLL DOWN TO THE BUDGET PARAGRAPH PART AND SEE FOR YOURSELF WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES

cancer scam

Once quite a rare disease, cancer is the second major cause of death in Western countries such as Australia, USA and the United Kingdom. It is said that the increase in cancer is due to the fact that people now live longer than their ancestors did, and that therefore, the increase of cancer deaths and incidents is typical of most Western nations.

Ever wondered why, despite billions of pounds spent on cancer research over many decades, and the constant promise of a cure which is forever ‘just around the corner’, cancer continues to increase?

Linus Pauling PhD (Two time noble prize winner) argues that: “Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud and that the major cancer research organisations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them”.

With this is mind, and with cancer being a personal subject for me I decided to delve into Cancer Research UK and examine exactly what they do in fighting the cause.

Each year the organisation has thousands of women take to the streets, dressed in pink to run a mini marathon in order to raise money for research into the causes of cancer and to find that ever elusive cure.

Each year we are told the same old story. How we are ‘almost there’ and that we are ‘on the brink of finding the cure’. How long are we to be sucked in by the same lies again and again?

The Truth. Cancer Research UK already know the causes of cancer and how to prevent it. However, according to Dr. Robert Sharpe, ‘…in our culture, treating disease is enormously profitable, preventing is not’. The harrowing truth ladies and gentlemen, however, we are not entirely naive to this statement. Deep down we know this is a profitable business rather than a charity. Do we not?

Okay, so lets talk facts… Ah, that’s the problem, there barely is any. Their ever slick, well-designed website seems to give you the runaround. It is vague with hardly any concrete or specific information. Link goes to link with uncertainty and promises. On their website nothing at all is mentioned about what treatment Cancer Research UK has invented, pioneered, trialled or tested.

There are mentions of certain drugs including Tamoxifin and Herceptin. These drugs have in fact been around for years, my mother had to travel to America in order to receive this treatment. If these drugs were currently and readily available in America than why was it not in the UK? Two words, pride and money. Even though these drugs were available in other countries the UK did not want to buy the research from America, they wanted to find the solution themselves. Meanwhile, women who could not afford to travel to the states were deprived of a life-saving drug.

Eventually, when Cancer Research UK found the formula for Herceptin you were only allowed to have this treatment for a year at the cost of £15,000 to the individual. A drug that has kept my mother alive for over seven years so far. What is the point in giving and fundraising for all this research when we don’t have the money to pay for it in our hospitals?

One research that the charity did successfully carry out was for the drug Sutent. This drug is used to treat a type of kidney cancer called renal cell carcinoma, RNC. It was believed that Sutent would help extend life expectancy by at least two years. The drug was put forward to NICE, and rejected on the grounds of simply cost. I reiterate, what is the point in pumping all the money into the research when the country can not afford to administer the drugs.

The website claims that –

“Cancer Research UK is the European leader in the development of novel anti-cancer treatments.”

“We are training the next generation of cancer scientists and doctors”

“More than a million people donate regularly to Cancer Research UK”

“Over one million women have walked, jogged or run in one of our Race for Life events’

These quotes above are on their website. There were none about lives saved by the research that the volunteers and donators are paying for. No facts about what medicines/drugs etc have been developed are in the pipeline.

Okay, so lets talk numbers. Last year £460 million was raised for Cancer Research UK. Cancer Research admits that they spend £130 million pounds on actually generating those funds! 2.5 million pounds on Supporter Relationship Management. This is a strategy for the management of future fund-raising.

They proclaim that the work they do actually cost them, last year 341 million pounds, so they are in fact saying they are just about breaking even.

Here is a list of employees and their pay:

3,935 employees receiving up to £60,000 per year

38 employees receiving up to £70,000 per year

30 employees receiving up to £80,000 per year

21 employees receiving up to £90,000 per year

9 employees receiving up to £100,000 per year

7 employees receiving up to £110,000 per year

1 employee receiving up to £120,000 per year

4 employees receiving up to £130,000 per year

3 employees receiving up to £140,000 per year

2 employees receiving up to £150,000 per year

2 employees receiving up to £160,000 per year

1 employee receiving up to £260,000 per year

Total equals £34,170,000 spent on waged employees. This figure does not include bonuses and pensions that these employees are entitled to. I wonder if fund raisers know that their donations/collections are being invested on the stock market and are topping up employees pensions, as well as funding some of the highest paid workers around in a recession?

Just some simply maths here… £460,000,000 raised for Cancer Research UK last year. Minus the £341,000,000 that was spent on fundraising and the £34,170,000 spent on wages, we are left with a grand total of £84 million. Hardly ground breaking figures, and definitely not enough money to be supporting the research that SHOULD be occurring.

The chap is entitled to his opinion if somewhat misguided. All research into providing better health care is the hall mark of a civilised society and as such it should be supported and assisted when and wherever possible. The alternative is to sit back and do nothing and that is not a valid approach to pain and suffering that this disease causes.

The issue of the costs of collection are, I am afraid, a cost of doing business. The OP has neglected to factor in the multiplier effect of the salaries people earn in the research sector and the small business that provide something as simple as rubber gloves.

My view is that if we can make weapons to kill people we can spend some money trying to cure them.

It raises awareness if nothing else. They had a news article about raising the research into lung cancer and hoping to raise the 5 year survival rate. I thinks it's 18% at the moment and 15% of lung cancer is not caused by smoking. They're trying to raise the survival rate to 25% by 2025.

Has someone who has had breast cancer and a mastectomy this is my take on it.

I will be supporting stand up to cancer as I do some others. I don't celebrate pinkwashing which is what you get in October the very thought that buying pink products helps raise awareness boils my piss especially when some items cost 4.00 and 5p gets donated. Tickled pink drives me mad cause I can tell you breast cancer isn't pretty, girlie or fluffy.

However tonight raise funds to put into cancer awareness and support.

As for the the gentleman I have to agree somewhat with him. I believe there is already a cure for cancer but we will never see it as cancer is big business for the big pharma.

Cancer is the name that we use for a high number of very different cancers. There is probably not one drug treatment that will cure all of them.

I think it's silly to perceive that researchers and drug companies are holding us back, needlessly causing millions to die each year, when many advances have been made, helping millions to survive and in effect be cured and many others have a longer life, of higher quality.

Each nation's health treatment, spending and approvals process is different. Criticism can largely be directed to governments, if their funding process is wrong.

I think some individual drug companies potentially price them too highly but unless it's a state owned organisation, outside of capitalism, that's how they will act.

Actually there are a lot of trials where cannabis oil has shown to cure cancer whether it's been used along side traditional medicines such as chemo or not I don't know. I never had to have chemo or radio but chemo is toxic that's why everything drops out and has some awful side effects.

If I where to get it again. I would probably try the cannabis oil just because of what I've read before trying chemo

Anecdotal evidence may help suggest what could be researched but clinical research and evidence must be substantially different. I've had many relatives and friends with cancer, most of them have died. But there have also been fantastic experiences from contemporary medical treatments, including cures.

I encountered one person who through ignorance did not get diagnosis or treatment and died. Her death may have been preventable and if the current programmes help raise awareness and prevent just one such death, it will be worth it.

So what do you suggest then. We just collect the money in bags and send it to a hospital with a note saying this £xxm we have collected see what you can do with this?

There has to be order and structure to the process otherwise we have chaos. I would be more upset at the fact that the NHS is not getting £350m per week extra as a result of lies in a recent vote.

Desert Island Discs this morning had a scientist (I forget his name and his choice of music was horrendous) who explained gene therapy and how this vital research can tailor make anti tumour drugs to react with the immune system to seek out and destroy cancer cells. The research centres on reducing the impact of drug therapy on surrounding tissue thereby reducing a patients side effects. Do you think this research happens in a garden shed? Your argument is misguided and misinformed.

Sorry I meant to sat respondent. You are of course the OP!

The issue of the costs of collection are, I am afraid, a cost of doing business. The OP has neglected to factor in the multiplier effect of the salaries people earn in the research sector and the small business that provide something as simple as rubber gloves.

My view is that if we can make weapons to kill people we can spend some money trying to cure them.

Ahem the OP which is me.... hasn't neglected to factor in anything but my best wishes for a successful evening raising funds and awareness..

I will start again. Yes sorry Sox you are indeed the OP and my comments were to the ex pat respondent!

You are forgiven but you must be punished so immediately vacate to the garden and offer your naked bottom to the moon and await further instructions.... Erm............not my gig that Sox!

Hey my punishments aren't optional....

Get in the garden.... right now...

Is it the night Garden and will I meet your friends?

If it cold enough and you hang your arse out for long enough I'll pretty much guarantee you'll get a chap on it....

I am afraid its a Meatloaf response.......................I will do most things but I wont do that.

My last prostate exam took me a moth to recover from and the urologist had small hands!"

Jesus ..................month !!!!

"Did you know that chemotherapy is mustard gas "

I dont know about canabis oil but i would rather try that than drugs, chemotherapy, radiation or having bits chpped off as i dont agree with it, i feel that when my times up, my times up and thats it.

Other people can do what they like.

I dont go for breast screening only smear tests, always have done.

I feel that we all have to die somewhen and if its not cancer then it will be something else. Both my parents died of cancer but they were elderly.

One of them most moving things I've ever seen, him describing the love for his family."
