We may not have "cured" or wiped out Cancer.

But those who are diagnosed have a much better arsenal of drugs with which to fight and the outcomes are much better than ever before. I do consider that to be great progress!!

My MIL died of Alzheimer's and it was a slow and very painful thing to watch. She was totally alone in her suffering as she did not recognize any of her family, we were all strangers and she was alone. While we watched helplessly.

I encourage the Drug Manufactors to give it their best. That will mean expensive drugs for the first few years, But drugs, none the less, that will delay this horrible disease from taking it's toll so rapidly.

I say, "The Sooner the Better" for their research and unlocking the answers from which so many will benefit.
