To much money, to many companies vested in chemo which is worst than the disease often times.

Excuse me. But I don't think you know what the heck you are talking about.

As a (blood) cancer survivor from several years ago and going to the #1 cancer center in the country (MD Anderson), I can tell you that the Moonshot program has advanced research and treatments exponentially.

In fact, at MD Anderson, one of the Ph.D. researchers won a Nobel medical prize for a new immunotherapy treatment protocol only a few years ago. In fact, most of the latest treatments ARE NOT chemo. They are targeted immunotherapy or genetic modification therapy.

Yes there has been some progress in blood cancer treatments, t cell and what not. Much less so solid tumor. My mother had many quality months left had she not opted for chemo for uterine cancer. Chemo complications took her well before the cancer would have. Do your own research on the drug Aduhelm. Just a tiny blip of FDA incompetence / corruption to get that one approved. Here is something very troubling. There is a revolving door of high level FDA employees leaving for big Pharma jobs. It must have pained NPR to put out this report. Wouldnt happen in 2023. I’m glad you had success with your illness. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/09/28/495694559/a-look-at-how-the-revolving-door-spins-from-fda-to-industry
