How could children understand someone WANTING to get cancer. Had prostrate cancer myself.

As a cancer survivor I am asking for the advert to be removed. Whilst it may have been well intentioned I feel the emotional impact of cancer has definitely been overlooked. It is a very insensitive and inappropriate way to get a message .across.

I personally know a family who's 4yrs old little boy is going through cancer and also family members of my own. I have had to explain this insensitive ad to my own children and while they now understand it they think it is 'very mean' (their words). The money donated by the public that has been spent on this ad could have been put to much better use by helping affected patients and families. Instead the ICS is causing further upset to the people they claim to be helping. Shame on you for being so completely out of touch.

Appalling lack of thought towards those with cancer and their families. Such a waste of money which could have gone to help those dealing with cancer and their families.
