I was in cancer detection for 40+ years. It is so disheartening to read the writings of people who state ‘there is a cure for cancer, but we aren’t getting it because the medical industry makes more money if we stay sick’. I actually heard this from acquaintances and would say ‘do you not realize that everyone working in any area of cancer detection/research has lost someone they love to some form of cancer?’.There are probably thousands of types of cancer. Nearly every one will need it’s own treatment/cure. SOME treatments can be used on more than one type of cancer. There are several types of cancers that are cured, if found early. Skin cancers (non-melanomas) are easily eradicated if found early. Prostate cancer can be cured, if found early. Cervical cancer can be cured, if found early. We need to put money into diagnostic testing to find cancers earlier. But there is no blanket ‘cure’ for cancer.

Since you were in the cancer cure business, why doesn’t everyone get a scan every year? That would find EVERYTHING and really be a cost savings for the medical community because cancers would be found in stage 1 and other aliments would be found and treated very quickly. It seems only the rich get it and that seems stupid to me. I can’t imagine it costing more then a MRI or the other one....lol. Begins with a “C” I think.
