This should not be happening. So sad for the readers who suffer from cancer.

I remember taking an economy class years ago. The only thing that I remember from the class was the professor telling the class in his broken english, " If you want to get rich, write a book about dieting or health. You will become rich. " He is right.

the cure for cancer is not a potion, infusion, med, immunotherapy, it’s surgery. It’s using tech to find it while operable/stage 1. Can be done right now. Finally someone figured that out with lung cancer, screenings work.

Oh, really very interesting!

But tell me how do you treat your high tech early diagnosed leukemia, brainstem glioma or glioblastoma surgically?

Obviously not all cancer genius

But people should not be being diagnosed at stage 4 for solid cancers regardless, and they very often are. It’s quite sad

No question, early diagnosis is a column of success in cancer treatment.
But even in Stage 1 diagnosed -excisable- cancer, surgery is in the overwhelming majority of cases only the first step.
Surgery isn’t THE cure.

It’s part of a treatment SYSTEM.

I think you understand my point that’s what it isn’t, is a mythical med we haven’t found yet thats universally curative. And that if found early and operable, that can lead to serious dent against cancer’s impact broadly. I won’t get into the weeds here. but heartbreaking when ppl are dx too late

And moreover in many cases a infusion, med or immunotherapy is the ONLY THERAPY available.

Don’t make simplistic statements on difficult multifactorial medical problems!

The entire US system of capitalism is one big con so not shocking at all. Our day time show “doctors,” soon to be surgeon general, heading hhs fda cdc etc each sell branded vitamins and most don't believe in covid as an entity, or vaccination. It’s not republicanism it’s literal nihilism
