I agree to remove this advertisement. It does use hurtfu words, I have lost family members to Cancer and my chances of getting cancer are 50/50 so one day I may get it which is scarey, do to tear someone say that on the TV is a nightmare, very insensitive!

I got cancer 5 years ago, everyone 'gets' cancer, I don't know anyone who doesn't understand its effect. I know there's a lot of media coverage, which was probably ICS aim, but too negative. Please withdraw campaign.

I think the Marketing manager needs to have a long hard look at their choice of words in future.

I don't have cancer but a great friend of mine does and he and his family think this ad is so wrong. I agree with them. It's trying to be clever but just does not work.

Whilst I understand the intention of the advertisement, it's poor construct and inappropriate wording is both ill conceived and offensive.

This ad should be talking down do you think all patients wake up and suddenly desired that they want cancer !!!! N o they want to wake up and fight again for there love ones they continue fighting this life threatening disease through rough treatment should as hormone treatment radiotherapy chemotherpy nerve injections number tests and for what to live with there families so I strongly advice taking this rubbish down as it is a major insult to people that are going through this day by day.

Disgraceful ad. Just sickening with such disregard for those who are suffering the grief of having lost someone dear, a recent diagnosis and indeed going through the hell of treatment.
