This ad has really been bothering me, glad to see I am not the only one. Hard hitting ads should be saved for drink driving etc where people have a choice to do right or wrong, cancer not a choice.

Yes hard hitting advert but so so insensitive. Sit by someone's bedside dying of cancer do I want cancer no thank you! It's part already of people's daily struggle with life do any of us need this ad when watching tv NO!!

I will not be supporting the Daffodil Day fundraiser if this is how the ICS want to upset people, I can see what they're doing but I think it has backfired big time as anyone I've spoken to about it find it very insensitive and upsetting so much so that they've said they will not support this charity in future and the partronising woman from the ICS hasn't done the ICS any favours

We are all aware of cancer. Use your funding more effectively than glossy ads please.

This is a dangerous advert that will actually cause cancer by "misprogramming" our subconscious minds,

A very poorly worded campaign which takes no account of the effect it will have on those who have lost family and friends through cancer. It must be particularly traumatic for children who have seen parents or other close relatives die from the disease. Please remove this insensitive ad. Thank you.

The play on words used in the ad is too subtle for most people. No one wants to 'get' cancer, we want to destroy it, cute it, prevent it. It's not clever it's offensive.

Cancer survivor myself. Grieving for loving family members who got cancer. Heartbroken. Shocked when I saw the add. Even now, having listened to the explanation, can't look at it. Huge mistake.

Every year we donate hundreds of daffodils for daffodil day as well as giving a good donation. I have a family member with cancer and dont need your stupid advertisement to feel sad. Get this ad off immediately and stop.paying your execttives such large saleries and having costly information sessions.

This ad is too raw for those who have lost someone to cancer or for those with a family member battling cancer.

Totally disrespectful to families who are going through the fight against cancer.
