As well as suffering the effects of two inoperable brain tumors that have robbed her of almost all of her sight. She and I would both love to see a cure. It'd give my Mom a chance to see her grandson and soon-to-be granddaughter grow up to be young adults. --TwoDragons Maureen: I feel for you, my Mom is coping with Non-Hodgekins herself.

There is nothing worse then going through chemo. A cure for my incurable Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (there are over 25 different yes of lymphoma)is most welcome. Any small step forward is a huge step in finding a cure for some type of cancer. I'd take the chance on the nasty side effects any day. There is nothing worse then going through chemo.

Also, cancer isn't one disease, there are tons of different kinds, some can already be cured, some can't. @ Jimbo: people will still get cancer even if there is a cure you'll still need someone to administer it won't you?

What about the recent cancer research involving the reactivation of the mitochondria in cancerous cells? @jimbo

There is BILLIONS of dollars in the US alone spend on treatment. That is just too much money for them to ever find a cure. It isn't like the day when Polo was wiped out. Then they had a passion to find a cure. If they find a cure for cancer, all those "specialist" will be out of a job. All the research money, also in the BILLIONS will stop.

I doubt that this medicine was made without the intention to make peoples lives better, leaving it at only a medicine made to make a drug company rich.
