My wife died in 1994 from breast cancer. Her two sons were ages 11 and 7 years.

Even though it has been some time since she was taken from us whenever a news story (June 25, News-Tribune, Page 2) comes up about cancer my youngest is sure to say that "If Mom had gotten cancer now shed would have probably survived."

We have come a long way but it still is with us. Thank you for your efforts to find a cure.
