Boca BIlls Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 2 hours ago, The Senator said: Well that’s a very cynical - and naive - way of looking at things. Places like Dana Farber, Sloan Kettering, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, and dozens - if not hundreds - of others, including our own very excellent Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center - are working round the clock and spending $$billions$$ on research trying to find new ways to treat and cure cancer. Problem is, there are so many different typeset of cancer. For the 43% of those diagnosed with liver cancer at an early stage, the 5/year survival rate is 31%, if it hasn’t spread to other parts of the body. Roswell has managed to keep me alive since I was diagnosed in 2012, thru some unique treatments pioneered right here in Buffalo. So I’m lucky enough to be in that 31%, but I’ve been on ‘borrowed time’ for 2 years now. Money isn’t the problem. Cancer is just such an insidious disease that a true cure remains elusive. . Here we go... just keep throwing money at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Actually cancer isn't just a single disease. That's what makes curing it so difficult. Tumors have a wide ranges of causes that change on where they emerge. I doubt we're that close to a cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynical, yes. A real possibility, also yes. Think of all the charities hustling the buck and selling the emotions. It's all a big racket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
