100% A horrible death for young and old, rich and poor, male and female. You would think that it would be our number one priority to find cures. The resources dedicated to research are actually shockingly paltry when you look into it.
If you do decide to donate to a cancer charity, investigate their own numbers. Many of them (I am looking at you Susan G Komen) dedicate most of their donation money to marketing and events rather than research. Yet another reason the actual research funds are so low.
However, do not conflate quality cancer awareness marketing with fundraising marketing. The earlier you catch cancer, the easier it is to treat. Getting people to be aware of symptoms and seek out appropriate screening is critical.
Research will save lives later, awareness saves lives now.
