Sadly, the treatment side is still in the stone ages — lop off the offending body part, irradiate the person and/or inject nasty chemicals into their body that make them very sick but not sick enough to kill them.
For all of the trillions of dollars donated and spent on cancer research and the doctors are still driving around in Model Ts.
Back in the day there was a saying that only God and surgeons cured cancer. If you can cut it out, it is still the best option and I thank God, I was able to get mine surgically removed.
Radiation is radiation but chemo has changed a lot in the last 20 years. There are many cancers considered curable with chemo now. There are other cancers which never responded to treatment now responding to newer meds.
Still a long way to go but this is an exciting time for new cancer treatments.
