Blind link? You're better than that.

Itv news. Sounds legit.

The 60-year-old was diagnosed with lung cancer three years ago, after suffering pains in his shoulder.

There are two types of lung cancer. Non-small cell already has immunotherapy drugs on the market that works for some people. Non-small cell patients are also candidates for surgery to remove the tumors if it is still localized.

Small cell is the rarer of the two and is very aggressive. It has nothing on the market beyond chemo and radiation. It can spread so fast that surgery to remove the tumors are not common from what we have been told.

My dad has small cell and maybe has weeks left to live. At one point after treatment and his initial diagnosis, my dad was in remission and "cancer free" as well. It didn't last long, though. Hoping that's not the case for the man in the OP.

I wish this article would have mentioned which one this guy had.

Guess he was not in the Placebeaux group of the experiment.

I have a coworker that just went thru an experiment cancer treatment. So far it is working wonders for him.

Advances in cancer research are really leaping forward.
