Massachusetts Killing State Prostate Cancer Funding

CodeMonkey writes "The Massachusetts state budget allocated to prostate cancer research and awareness has gone from $3.2 million a few years ago to NOTHING today. According to this MetroWest Daily News article, 765 men in MA died of this disease in 2000. What's even more sickening about this is that state funding for breast cancer is barely being cut, to about $3 million. Breast cancer killed 1,055 women in 2000. The injustice of this, and the discrimination it amounts to, are absolutely incredible. Where is the public outcry from Mass. men and medical professionals?"
