Thanks Brian. I agree with you. Cancer leaves very few to no choices and at some stage a lot of people are left at mercy of experiments or trials so that their life can help improve prognosis for somebody else.

Once my dad's cancer was diagnosed, irrespective of best of treatment, I always knew that he would never be cured, he'll be just cancer-free for rest of his life. Infact, my dad was bold enough to admit in front of his doctor that he got 2 years' extension the first time and hoping to get more when his recurrence was detected. 2 years back, I was naive but since then there's hasn't been a day that I had not spent reading about something about cancer and fighting it back.
