Maybe family members and friends with cancer have led me to look into other options. The most promising of which being Viral pathogens which gets little funding.

I don't think this is true. I just saw a big thing on dateline about how promising some of these viral vectors (one is the polio virus, actually) are for eliminating solid cancers. I doubt it's purposely getting less funding, as you seem to imply. If a company were to develop and get FDA approval for such a drug, it would be a massive cash cow. Your big pharma "cures don't make money" conspiracy theory doesn't hold water.

Since Polio, which big disease has been "cured", there are vaccines and treatments, you don't see "cures".

Your punctuation here is bad, so I'm not really sure what you're asking or stating, but I think you might be asking about what has been "cured." Very few things get cured because it's very hard to eradicate a virus. We basically eradicated smallpox, though. Polio isn't a problem as long as you vaccinate. That said, Seattle has lower polio vaccination rates than Rwanda, so idiots still exist to keep these things around.
