Many patients with many varieties of cancer are cured, capital "C", no more cancer, everyday

You don’t believe this? Has the money “donated” to cancer research hit the trillions yet?
The treatment is lucrative, and just about everything consumable or widely circulated today contains carcinogens. The companies making unfathomable amounts of money would do anything they could to prevent it from being cured.
I saw this all the time, the money is in the treatment, not the cure.

Just imagine the medical and pharmaceutical industry if cancer is truly eradicated.
At the very least, medical insurance premiums should plummet, but there will be thousands of unemployed professionals.

I'm not even the super religious type but what a dumb statement
Prayer is hope...someone can't have "hope" or a "prayer" for a cure?

I'm sitting at ASCO right now. My colleagues were just talking about it...one of them sat in on the presentation. Said the room gave a standing ovation.

But only because God favored them. You must repent and be merciful before God to be chosen. Science cannot overcome that fact.

There is a new early screening test that promises to catch pancreatic cancer early:

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have developed a new technique using an electronic jolt and nanoparticles to reveal the telltale signal of an insidious form of cancer.
The technique, described in a study published in the journal Small, offers a new way to detect early signs of pancreatic cancer — a particularly deadly type of cancer because it isn’t detected until it’s progressed to later stages that are difficult to treat effectively. The new method would involve a simple blood draw among people who are considered higher risk due to family history or other factors.
“The pancreas is deep inside the body. It’s not like skin cancer you can see or a lump that you can feel,” said senior author Stuart Ibsen, Ph.D., associate professor of biomedical engineering in the OHSU School of Medicine and the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. “By the time people experience jaundice or abdominal pain, it’s usually already progressed to an advanced stage.”

Yeah but heres the thing. When will the rubber meet the road so to speak? I'm just gonna put this out there.
My wife has appendiceal cancer, and we are running out of options. Lot of things in the pipeline that sound really promising, we just have to buy enough time to get the benefit.

They had to tweak the horse paste so they could get a new patent.

Seriously - we have curative treatments for a number of cancers.
I dont think the same people ever stop to realize treating cancer is analogous to stopping a house fire - Its entirely practical and straightforward to stop the fire when its isolated to your stove top. That changes when the fires engulfed the kitchen itself.

A certain set if people from dr oz to rfkj, Trump, did right to try.

43 out of 102 doesn't sound like a cure, but good start maybe.

The rubber ain't never gonna meet the road. My mom died when I was 12, from cancer. Sister died a year ago. Another sister is fighting it. But the difference between then and now is damn near the same as the difference between dying from every day infection in the 1800s vs today. Cancer is a complex disease. It's not really a disease. It's a condition. I don't hate it like I used to. I quit saying "cancer sucks". Too much focus on the cancer and not the person, I guess.
That said, you two hang in there. You might find something, you might not. All you can do is watch the Sun rise every day and find some beauty in the world. Try to do it again tomorrow.

You would just have a shift in spending for various ailments as people age to a point that they wouldn't have otherwise reached if they had died from some form of cancer at an earlier age.

I do have one issue with posts like these and I do understand yours was not made with any malice in mind but to inform.
There are those of us involved with people with cancer or with it ourselves that have few options left, and articles and posts like these are almost painful to us.We see these alleged hopeful reports and then at the end the caveat..still in trials or still years away.
Again I know you meant no harm and I mean no personal animus but to the community I am a part of time is a precious commodity and anything that could buy more is valued indeed.Articles like that tend to dangle hope for more time and at the end pull it out of reach

My mother had Ovarian cancer that spread to her brain. She refused chemotherapy because of what she had seen it do to friends. She opted for the radiation. I don’t think it was any better than chemotherapy would have been. It was awful. Hopefully, within a few years we can look back on the way we treated cancer and shake our heads at exactly how primitive it was. Cancer is my family curse.

She made the right choice. Chemo for cancer that has metastized to the brain has a very minimal success rate
I hope you are correct and progress is being made almost daily.

There are thousands of clinical trials ongoing at any given time, and many of them struggle to enroll patients (enrollment often pushes out the timelines for these trials). I would encourage you to be your own advocate and see what might be an option. Talk with your physicians.
