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

Brothers..... Lets face it , both breast cancer and prostate cancer are hideous diseases. And no, I repeat no, prostate cancer is not an old man's disease the same holds true for breast cancer. My question to the forum readers is in North America prostate cancer kills more men than breast cancer kills people in North America. Why does it only get 2-5% of the funding . I am bombarded every night on TV or radio about ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and other women's cancers and I have never seen a prostate cancer commercial. This is ridiculous. Sociologically one can conclude that prostate cancer is massively underfunded and that men in North America are generally unappreciated. This has to stop. Talk to your politicians and anybody that will listen. Force their hand for "AT LEAST PARITY ! " ENOUGH !, with this bias ! God Bless ! James on Vancouver Island .

@northoftheborder But, but, women get to ring the bell with celebrations after finishing infusions. Men, there's the bell if you want to ring it. See ya. I tried to take all my anger out on it with 2 rings. Techs were running for cover lol

@chippydoo Its not anger , you read the situation totally wrong . Its grave concern for our boys in society . You should try being informed and concerned . Yet you feel it appropriate to make a joke out of men dying . God have Mercy on your soul . Not what responsible people do . Quite evil actually .

@vancouverislandhiker I have no idea what you are talking about. Save your self righteous name calling for someone you actually know.

@dpayton e was making fun at the lack of funding and as a consequence , mens deaths . I dont find it too funny at all . Obviously your family has not been touched by the disease that plagues men. Cancer is NEVER a laughing matter . yoru laughing at the sick? I dont understand the human fabric of cruelty .
