There is no cure for any cancer, period. Science can only slowdown progress of cancer, by surgery, or chemo, or other meds, or radiation. But can not cure cancer permanently.

We all have cancer cells forming by the millions every day. It is when normal DNA breaks down for whatever reason. Luckily most of us have the ability to recognize the cancer cells and kill them before they form a tumor or mass. When that ability is lost for whatever reason (genetics, weak immune system, etc) then cancer takes hold in the body. Cancer is simply our own cells with defective DNA.

So treatments can put us into remission temporarily, but if we live long enough, the cancer will come back.

We have 2 female friends with recurring breast cancer.

Also, we have 2 male friends with recurring neck/shoulder cancer.

I had cancer in my 20’s, again in my 30’s, and again in my 40’s....three different types of cancer which is rare. I'm now well past retirement though was told in my 30’s I'd be lucky to make it to 65. I am on no medication.

I do think when possible cancer should be cut out surgically .... get it out of your body. The earlier the better. And leave the rest in the Lords hands.
