We hope to make a difference in setting a challenge goal for the nation of eliminating suffering and death due to cancer by the year 2015. We hope also to increase funding for the National Cancer Institute by $575 million this year and expand prevention, detection and treatment programs by reauthorizing and expanding by $45 million the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program.

We understand some of the things cancer patients go through and the prostheses are so expensive. That's why we carry most of the things they will need at no charge.

I think it's very, very important to have the office and offer free supplies to cancer patients. In fact, one woman didn't even realize breast prostheses were available until she discovered the loan closet.
