    Still no cure though. It's amazing they can find all kinds of treatments for cancer but yet find the cure so elusive. :P

    The difference between healthy cells and cancer cells is only a few proteins. That makes them hard to tell from good cells.

    I understand that but given that cancer treatment is a 126.4 billion dollar industry it's quite understandable why the drug companies appear to be putting most or all of their resources into "treating" the illness vice "curing" it.


    Call me a cynic but every couple of months or years there seems to be another miracle treatment but still no cure.
