Looks good. We’ll see. I’ve become skeptical about such claims over the years, but...we’ll see.

Dunno. Sounds like a disaster in the making. However, it could be an important step in the battle

I always wonder if battles and killing is the right way to go about curing or preventing. I don’t know anything about cancer but the killing cancer and fighting it paradigm seems so risky. I see how treatment sometimes permanently prevents health overall. At least now they are trying their kill the enemy method that attempts to avoid more friendly fire.

I could give options to people under the “Right To Try” program Trump approved.

Having had breast cancer once, any treatment like this is of great interest. My very good friend kicked breast cancer twice over the last 30 years. It returned, and she passed away on Sunday. It’s never REALLY gone, I think.

“Having had breast cancer once, any treatment like this is of great interest. ...”

Also of equal interest here. The treatment described may well prove significant in cancer treatment. Greatest obstacle now may be government and pharmaceutical companies.

My wife is well past a year of the “5-Year Breast Cancer Survivor” milestone. Early detection was a godsend. Family support, good health and competent treatment enabled her her to see it through. She did have a prescription-medicine related eye-sight problem that required extensive treatment.
But all-in-all cancer treatment was a success requiring only standard follow-on examinations.

In some ongoing state of common sense vigilance we’d also agree that “it’s never REALLY gone.”
