I'll never understand how we can put a man on the moon some 45 years ago but cannot come up with more cures for this dreaded disease. It makes you wonder just what is actually being done with all the money that is spent on cancer research!

It is incredibly sad that after Nixons war on cancer LINK we are so far from treatments for so many of the many types of cancer.

We have a long way to go.

There are a lot of really, really promising things on the horizon.

And, FWIW, treatments have come a very long way

I often question this as well. The only thing they got right on my best friend's diagnosis and treatment last year was his life expectancy after the terminal diagnosis. The rest of it was a complete calamity of shite in many respects.

Cancer is not just one disease. It has countless different forms for every body part which can be specific to that person. It's just very complex.
