One person every minute of every day in the US dies from cancer. But the cure will be elusive, it is not ONE disease, it is actually hundreds of individuals disease each with their own issues. We all know that what works in one, does not work in another.

My personal belief is that we will never eradicate cancer, there are too many reasons why we get it all around us in our environment, food, air, and water supply, chemicals, lifestyle choices, that we are exposed to, and in our genes. But I believe (not in my lifetime) that we can make cancer a manageable disease, that with the proper treatments and drugs you will survive and deal with, maintaining remission through those modalities.
