Wayne and Coach--

I'm not in that profession but read lots across interesting subjects.

I am impressed by the good outcomes for some people who have some kinds of cancer.

I have known several people who died of melanoma in their 40's.

And then I heard recently about the case I mentioned in the above post with the doctor saying they could cure metastasized melanoma! And I heard they think they will have a vaccine that works against a skin cancer and another type.

Then there is the stealthy cancer of the pancreas that has killed a few people I knew. That one appears to be one of the toughest to deal with in terms of detection and "cure."

And in recent years they came out with the vaccine against HPV--a virus that causes cancers in various parts of the body.

So, research is accomplishing good things.

It does not mean that everybody who gets cancer will have it detected early, or will get the best treatment, or can be cured.

And my heart goes out to whoever gets it.
