Recently, I read that a vaccine to prevent breast cancer sits on the shelf, awaiting $6 million in funding until trials can begin. WTF??? With the billions raised by Komen (and others), this group cannot get the funding they need?? There must be more to the story.
I, for one, want to find out why this is stalled. Here's a link to the website:

Why is this important to me? My mother is a 29-year survivor. My cousin is a 5 year survivor. One of my best friends, in remission for 3 years, learned last year she had IBC in the other breast, thus embarking on the path of another mastectomy, radiation, chemo, etc. Enough said.
