My fellow republicans - this is wrong: I am absolutely heartbroken at the news the funding for brain cancer research has been completely cut from NIH. My father and millions of others have been treated there for Glioblastoma and other brain cancers with miracle doctors and nurses. At NIH among other treatments is a proton beam they only exists in two other places other in America. The proton beam lasers around brain tumors and kills them. It is nothing short of a miracle (among all the other cancer treatments at NIH). Those of us who are a part of the brain cancer community are mourning today. America and NIH have always been a beacon of hope for those of us praying for a cure. Some government spending is needed and appropriate - cancer research is one of them. I am heartbroken by this. Heartbroken.
