Lemmy too
Modern medicine has done a marvelous job at greatly reducing or even eliminating things that use to kill us way before cancer could take hold... things like dysentery, typhoid and pneumonia.
But still can't seem to break cancer.
I blame a lot of that on money. Some pharm companies aren't interested in cures, only medications.
Certainly there could be some truth to that. Lots of money is made on ways to combat the disease once it's on the rampage.
One thing to keep in mind is that cancer isn't "one" disease. Each type of cancer is different.
