any money for cancer research just goes to nowhere at all. probably goes to pay for their vacations for their food for their clothes christmas presents cigarettes houses etc... theres never ever gonna be a cure for all cancer never.. what a horrible thing GOD creates people they get cancer ... then the cancer society gives money supposedly to help victims and their familys if you ask them for help ..to pay bills buy wigs transportation to doctors etc... GOD PAYS FOR ALL THE TREATMENTS thru various means... what a horrible word cancer is... make more sense if we all never have any babys....

It is simply amazing that you have had so many dumb answers so far, well two for sure. Who knows exactly where all the money goes, it is like asking where do all our tax dollars go to. Some is wasted, others contribute to the cutting edge of research. As far as who paid for my wife's cancer treatment at the tune of upwards of $350,000 and counting it was mostly from my work insurance Cigna. I work full time and I do not make much money but I do get health insurance through work. This alone is worth a minimum wage full time job. I paid the yearly deductibles out of pocket expenses about $3,000 a year but after that they pay for the rest of the treatment. There are of course things that I still pay for but overall they cover the big expenses like MRI testing ($2,000 +). I know three people that cannot get full time employment because companies cannot afford to pay for insurance, so this kind of work is getting harder to come by. Two friends have two part time jobs and the other has three. Out of every paycheck of mine they take out $165.00 for health care. So it is a huge expense for employees and employers alike. That is why we need a system where health care will not bankrupt us. Who can afford to fight cancer if they pay for the treatment out of pocket? My wife would be dead by now if we had to pay out of pocket for her treatments because we do not have that much money. In fact, cancer patients that have stage 0 or stage 1 cancers (which have a survival rate of 100-95%) that five year survival rate for these patients drops to 52% if they do not have health care insurance. Why? Because they cannot afford some of the treatments so they go without. For example: My wife needed a drug for 15 weeks of chemotherapy to boost her white blood counts. I went to the hospitals pharmacy for a week's supply and they said our insurance would not cover it, but they gave it to me anyway because my wife was starting treatment in two days. I looked at the cost for a week's supply six doses. I almost fainted, the price was $12,659.00, and I needed 14 more weeks of it. (Neupogen). Luckily my wife's oncologist called our insurance company and they set us up with mail order. Every month we got the drug at a cost of $200.00 out of pocket expense. That is a lot better than the $189.885.00 it would have cost me through the pharmacy. Who can afford it and that is only one drug.

The insurance company, and my community

Here in Australia, cancer treatment is either covered by the goverment or by private insurance companies. The monies donated and collected go to awareness campaigns and research into new tests and treatments.
