I get so angry and frustrated when I think about the growing number of people who are going through difficult cancer treatment for many months, even years, and then loosing the battle. Why is it we can, for example, spend so much money, time and energy researching and exploring the solar system and still we haven't found cure for cancer?? In Iceland it's estimated a third of the population will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and 25% of those who are diagnosed will die from their disease. Life can be so unfair and cruel sometimes...
