There are 2 comments on POV: My Son Has a Rare Form of Cancer. I Understand if Taxpayers Aren’t Providing Funds to Research It Yet

  1. Am sorry to hear about your son’s diagnosis. We have the right to donate to charities of choice but when it comes to taxpayer dollars allocated to the Dept. of Health that doles it out the money needs to stay in the United States. I read too many articles about our federal programs seeking to cure diseases in other countries when we have our own patients to cure in the U.S. Charity begins at home. What could be learned by researching your sons rare disease could be applied to numerous other rare diseases.
