Are they anywhere near finding a cure for cancer? Or is there just never going to be a cure
Doesnāt make sense financially to find a cure. It is a multi billion dollar industry.
From what Iāve seen they seem to be able to manage it and delay the spread more than anything. The 'oul lad was told he would inly have had one year but a new experimental drug gave him almost four years.

My great friend Naomi of swimming and running groups, her brother played tennis for wales. Was perfectly well. Died 24 hours later of leukaemia. Sheāll never really get over it. It happened a decade ago and she only told me last year, and was crying when she said it. Makes me want to cry now.

There seems to have been a lot of cases with young people recently. It would shake you alright.
My aul lad near the end. Weāve been nursing him at home the last month. Tough going but had some great chats and laughs with him. Last few days have been grim. Not really conscious and when he is he is agitated and confused. Lots of support from the hospice and irish cancer society. Its at the 'sooner the better stage now which is pretty shit whatever way you look at it.
