Did you see the 60 minutes article on the invention of the device transmitting radiowaves combating cancer cells? Now that was very interesting and encouraging.
From the time my mother experienced her breast cancers to the time of my own experiences, there have already been a multitude of discoveries dramatically changing the course of the disease. I believe that the results of these successes will lead to more discoveries and eventually a cure. We are on our way, we will get there.
