I never said they didn’t do good. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and sorry, I will not give drug companies the benefit of the doubt when it comes to these things. Yes they can effectively diagnose and treat breast cancer now thanks to the new machines, the new ways to do surgery etc. What I am saying is there seems to be a lot of evidence that SGK is using this as a cash cow and is unduly influenced by the makers of the equipment and drugs used to treat breast cancer vs. curing it.

Look, I’m not exactly a huge fan of drug companies or many of their ways of doing business, but the simple fact is that they still do come out with drugs that help. Without pharmaceuticals, I’d likely have ended up as, at best, a barely functional wreck and, quite potentially, dead by now. I can’t really discard that fact.
