Andy Whitfield star of Spartacus: Blood and Sand died age 39. Whitfield died of non-Hodgkin lymphoma on 11 September 2011, 18 months after his initial cancer diagnosis.

Very sad, he was an excellent actor, a great person and leaves his wife and 2 children behind. R.I.P

Proposed manned mission to mars in the future; cost = hundreds of billions of dollars. Imagine if that were spent on cancer research. Priorities, what are they?

Yep but we can’t just dedicate all resources to one thing. There will be as many people saying you should dedicate it to this disease or that. The exploration of space has had many beneficial spin offs. Always sad though.

in the 2011 Federal Budget, GILLARD cut funding for cancer research by $400million.
While wasting how much on illegal immigrants ?

I believe if we want to do something about this obesity epidemic we need to teach basic nutrition to primary school children and in-depth nutrition to high schools. 90% of people just don't understand food nowadays.
