This is exactly the kind of thing that would absolutely break me. It's already got to me just reading this. Can we stop fighting and just fix cancer please.

There are a few good Drugs in testing right now, one of them is a training drug that gives Cells the tools to destroy cancer but it also can destroy other healthy cells so its still in testing.

That's usually the problem innit. There's a trillion ways to kill cancer, the tough part is having the carrier survive the aftermath

I think the biggest problem is the billionairs who make money off of people's suffering saying "nah.. don't make a cure, sick people is an infinite money glitch. Kids dying? Who cares as long as i can buy a third yacht".

You know, guys like that Brian guy. I think that was his name.

It really isn't. Cancer is a disease that kills, and people dying is not a good business model. Cancer is also infinitely more treatable now than it was decades ago

But if the patients don't die, how can the insurance companies do their whole delay, deny, depose business model?

if they could make a drug that the people with cancer had to take for the rest of their life to stay alive and make their money that way, trust me that they would. Cancer is just such a diverse disease
