wow, I am sorry to hear that....

But I must say you can't generalize that for the whole system + that situation is really not representive, very strange indeed.
There must be more than that going on...

Ow and LOL, thousands of years ago, there weren't that many people living on this planet, and thousands of years ago the diseases were different than today.
Compare now with thousands of years ago is...kinda a desperate argument if you ask me.

Anyhow, I am sorry to hear that from your Belgian friends about the breast cancer situation.

poor guy, what a time to get precedent.

yep, he sure does!
He has the most ungreatful job at the moment + his timing is also very bad to become president.

Financial and economic crisis + the war on terror started by his cowboy predecessor + wanting to drastically change some fundamental things in the US (healtcare being the most obvious one) I hope some the majority of the Americans will reelect him again for another 4 years, but I fear not...
