I pray this leads to something more, I lost both parents to cancer. Color me naive, or more likely cynical that a cure hasn’t been already found, because a cure could result in billions of lost dollars to many institutions and scientists.

I lost one parent to it and am fighting it now myself. Congratulations to this young lady for her work. I’m always cynical, however, about any “cure for cancer”. There have been so many promising studies over the years, and medical advances have helped, but nothing ever turns out to be a cure.

Far more money can be made and jobs created in TREATING cancer then in curing cancer.

I'm sure if there was ever a real cure for cancer, it would be snuffed out like a candle ... along with the person or persons who invented it.

I feel the same way. Even in the video they said it would be YEARS before it was tried on humans. I've lost loved ones to cancer, too. Not much consolation for someone who needs a cure now. I hate even thinking this...cancer is a big business.
