Asthma control test

A bill was recently passed providing $30 million a year to pediatric cancer while breast cancer will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in funding. In addition, bolstered by tremendous corporate and public support, charitable organizations dedicated to breast cancer will raise hundreds of millions of dollars to help eradicate the disease. Of course, awareness of breast cancer is vitally important, and funding for research and early prevention clearly saves women's lives, but don't our children deserve the same level of support?
Each and every school day, 46 children, or more than two full classrooms of kids, are diagnosed with cancer in the United States alone. While doctors and researchers have made serious strides in the battle against so many other types of cancer, the lack of funding and awareness for our children has led to an insignificant improvement in survival rates for pediatric cancer over the past decade. As a result, cancer continues to be the number-one disease killer of children in our country, more than asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and pediatric AIDS combined!
Our own daughter Alex fought cancer for nearly her entire life. Diagnosed before her first birthday, Alex ultimately lost her life to the disease when she was 8 1/2 years old. During those years, Alex spent an immense amount of time going through experimental treatments, clinical trials, in and out of hospitals and suffering the consequences of so many unknowns associated with those treatments. Plain and simple, almost every treatment that Alex went through was trial and error. In a country with so many technological advances, shouldn't there be more answers?
So the question remains, how does childhood cancer gain the same status as breast cancer as a priority cause? Where do we go from here?
The answer is that the journey begins with each of us



Brother Thomas, a faculty member of Goethals Memorial School in Kurseong, and James Joseph and Valentine Gahatraj of the same institution, were told to come out of the vehicle with their luggage.
Bother Thomas is a 90-year-old diabetic and an asthma patient. He was under treatment at a nursing home in Siliguri and was discharged today, Joseph said. We were taking him back when the picketers stopped us. By the time we convinced them who we were, the ambulance had been smashed. They had forced us out on the pretext that all of us were healthy
