Fabulous news update!

Curing cancer through cloning! A man with advanced skin cancer was free from tumours within eight weeks of undergoing a procedure wherein immune cells cloned from the ones in his own body were injected into him. After two years he is still free from the disease which had spread to his lymph nodes and one of his lungs.

This is really great! :D Possibly I'm just on the slow boat to finding this out, but I'm still very excited. CANCER MAY BE CURED WITHIN MY LIFETIME, and that would make me incredibly happy.

KITTEH! ( ._.)9

...wow.

That's pretty frikkin' awesome. But it's too bad that it will probably only be for those who can afford it. Most cancer treatments now are only given to people with money. :/

Still. It's pretty sweet.

Even putting aside whether this is The Cure or not, I have hopes that societies for the research and treatment of cancer (in all their various bodies) will accept the challenge, once a cure is found and properly tested and developed, of rearranging their focus to allow for budgeting that funnels donated money into getting cancer patients treatment. (Otherwise, I have the feeling they'll start getting a lot less donations.)
