      I wish I did! We have lots of good treatments for cancer now on top of some of the older things we used to treat this disease (like radiotherapy and older chemotherapy). New drugs stop the growth of cancers by stopping them from creating their own blood supply – if they have no blood supply, then they have no nutrients coming to the tumour, so they can’t grow bigger! But I definitely think there is a lot more work to be done and maybe one day we will finally have a great cure for this horrible disease. Fingers crossed 🙂
