I am cancer free 12 years now(knock on wood) and one day I hope to see a cure for this terrible disease but I honestly don't believe we will.

I hate sounding like a conspiracy theorist but I honestly believe there has been a cure somewhere but there is simply way too much money to be lost by the drug companies/research labs, etc. if ever one was available that it simply will never be made public.

I cannot believe for the life of me with the countless Billions and billions of dollars that have been spent on the research for cancer and the incredibly brilliant world we live in that a cure has not been found. I might be 100% wrong on this but we have been able to do basically everything else in this world when it comes to technology that I can't fathom this has not happened yet.

Hopefully one day I am proven to be wrong on this, this is definitely one time I would love to be proven wrong.

My wife(47) is a 2 time cancer survivor, last time 11 years ago, lost my mother to this dreaded disease 6 years ago, hopefully they come up with the cure sooner than later. Cheers Steve

The worst is a child with cancer. My godmothers grandson was diagnosed at 2 with brain cancer and died at 3. Father was in vietnam and had agent orange and till this day claims that is what caused his son's cancer.

my grandmother has survived it once. My wife's grandmother has lived with it for 13+years and is 87. SHe won't let it take her.
