- Why are all of you rich people asking for our money? Katie makes $15 million a year. She would be very rich with a third of that. Why doesn''t she donate $10 million/year. The same for the rest of the celebrity crowd. They have given more to Obama than to this cause. Jack Black asks them to donate 2% and thinks the rest of us should try to do the same. The 98% that I would have left to live on in far less than the 2% that they would kick in. Sorry, but you won''t get any "poor Katie" from me. I am a survivor for now and I lost my spouse to cancer. Unlike Katie, I took my time off from work before he died so I could care for him and not after to take care of myself. Sorry, if I sound a little bitter. I resent rich hypocrites who pretend to be do-gooders but aren''t. Study after study has shown that wealthy liberals are far less generous with charitable causes than less wealthy conservative people. But, golly, do they love the limelight...

- Congratulations on this outstanding telecast.
Stand Up to Cancer was a memorable, important, and hope inspiring television event which updated us on the advances made in treating cancer,including the advances in our understanding of how genetic factors may influence this disease, with informative comments by doctors,researchers and patients. The program also reminded us of the importance of regular screenings as well,with some entertaining vignettes from the doctor''s office as well. It was good to see famous familiar friends from the entertainment and sports communities participating, many of whom have had their own personal experiences with fighting cancer. The personal stories of the patients were very moving, and their courage in dealing with the disease was very inspiring. Patrick Swayze''s appearance at this special event was a most special moment. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and all cancer patients and their families, and may God Bless them. - Reply to this comment
- Tonights message was just what I needed. I had cancer surgery Aug 22 Melanoma on my leg- I am a lucky one that is now cancer free due to the surgery. This has made me a different person, it is a humbling experience. My oldest daughter also had Melanoma on her head and had to have her head shaved, if she can endure what she went through and be so strong, I could as well. God Bless all of you going through this. I did pledge tonight, from both my daughter and myself. Antoinette Fox,Orange County CA

- I was disgusted by the way the benefit played out. To me this was a serious thing and I feel it was just an opportunity for Barack and his people to steal the spotlight from another candidate. I won''t support a careless place even if I could benefit from it. I was hoping that they would use this as an opportunity to bring America together by bring ALL candidates on. I changed over 45 minutes in. (when I seen Barack)

I live in Pa. My husband said to try the Cell phone and it was "All Lines are busy please try again".
How am I to donate money when WHO ever organized this did not follow thru....I mean 1 hour I tried to donate money.....Declined??? Try again later??? - Reply to this comment
- Cancer! Look around... don''t you wonder why so many have it NOW? Why it is growing ...not slowing?
The facts are out there... some wish to look beyond the facts and see only What the brainwashing media publish about THEIR facts that those in POWER want YOU to see.
I have learned much about cancer in the last 6 years and it is about MONEY!
If you look really hard, you will find that those with the money (MODERN DAY MAFIA)who have the power are usually the same who are in control of the chemicals in this nation! Whether it be for insecticides or pesticides or those who grow our food the wrong way... with CHEMICALS! Look at Monsanto.
We will get sicker and sicker until these people are found and made to show the real truth which is hidden and quieted by those in power so you and I keep donating and keep this monster going! It is a multi billion dollar business and why? because it scares the pants of you and me and through fear they have all of us!
You give money money money.
So give, I won''t. I will save it for organic foods and keep trying to help others who are dealing with this terrible disease and inform them one at a time because I don''t have the BIG BUCKS TO KEEP ANY MONSTER GOING. I hope you will help lead the questioning way against those in power who lie to us all. - Reply to this comment
- I am a physician at the University of Virginia and I missed the first part of the show because I was admitting a patient from the emergency room. I am a gynecologic oncologist and treat when with cervical cancer as well as uterine and ovarian cancer. This patient is a 52 year old wife, mother, and sister who was diagnosed with metastatic cervical cancer this evening because she hasn''t had a pap smear in the last 10 years.
The pap smear has saved more lives than colonoscopy and prostate exams combined! Before pap smears, cervical cancer was the leading cause of death among reproductive age women. I could not believe that you didn''t mention pap smears in your top 10 things that you can do to prevent cancer. The vaccine will not change cervical cancer rates for 20-30 years so now more than ever we need to educate this generation about their need for pap smears to prevent cervical cancer. Please remember them and all the women before them who have died!
