   We must continue our commitment until this is a reality. Yesterday’s address was definitely motivational and a milestone that confirms that our efforts and pleads have been heard and that finding the cure for Cancer is actually becoming a global priority.
   We must keep it up and work harder than ever. We will find the cure!

   Follow through are the keywords in this address I believe. Can’t stop or let up what we are doing now. If anything push harder now than we ever have!

   Hand in hand with the efforts to find CURES for cancer (there are more than 250 different types from what I have heard, and I have dealt with four different types on my skin alone), the need for adequate health care for all, which includes REGULAR SCREENINGS, EARLY DETECTION, and PROPER INTERVENTION, SUPPORT and TREATMENT, also needs to be championed.

   Cures are the ultimate goal and treatments are part of the quest.

   As a European I’m very happy to see what is changing in your country. Here in Belgium, social security makes it possible for everyone of our 10 million inhabitants to benefit from necessary medical care at low cost. I hope the same thing is achieved in US.
   Good luck President Obama!

   As I said the day I voted for our President “this guy gets it”. Let’s all keep up the good work towards making a cure for cancer a national priority.

   Unity is Strength! Unite and Fight!
