Why does prostate cancer only get 2-5% of funding breast cancer gets?

@chippydoo I know it's a joke — and hitting the bell hard is a good outlet for your anger 🙂 — but I'm not sure I get it. People ring the bell after finishing multiple rounds chemo or radiation for any type of cancer. It's not as if they invite people to ring it after 20 rounds of radiation for breast cancer, but not after 20 rounds of radiation for prostate cancer.
I've never heard of ringing a bell after surgery (whether it's a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or RALP), but I agree that some way to celebrate getting through it would be a nice idea.

@northoftheborder Not surgery. My point is the facility I had my radiation at had a bell outside of the Rad room. I saw many ring it and at the most one rad tech, if one showed up at all, to celebrate with them. Guess I fell flat on this on. What I didn't do is disparage my fellow rad warriors. Yeah I hated it, and they treated us like meat, and didn't meet my medical needs during the process. Fired my radiologist at the end.
