Eliminating cancer research is something that Biden or Harris would never have done.
Cancer research saved my life.
I was first diagnosed with lymphoma in 1990.
It returned in 2019 after two remissions.
I went 4 unsuccessful treatments over 2 years; all failed.
The 5th treatment was successful; the drug had only been approved by FDA the year before in 2020.
Also, when lymphoma returns, it gets more aggressive and resistant to prior therapies.
Also, I told my MAGA family members, that if my lymphoma returns and Trump in any way is partly responsible for my lack of treatment options, I will not be silent.
I will write my story.
They are more horrified that I would make Trump look bad than anything.
Also, Biden was VP when the ACA passed. ACA provides me with protections against lifetime limits which under the pre-ACA world, I would have already passed. And Trump wanted to repeal the ACA. Harris as US Senator voted against the repeal.
