Hope for the Future (Cancer Treatment)

I cannot even begin to tell you the joy I felt when I read the article Cancer Therapy Without Side Effects Nearing Trials. For anyone that has endured conventional cancer treatment (chemotherapy and/or radiation) or has witnessed their loved ones suffer through such barbaric procedures, I am convinced this new technology cannot come a day too soon!

Imagine a world in which women do not have to be disfigured simply because they have breast cancer. Imagine a world in which people no longer have to be poisoned to near-death levels to fight cancer.

Please imagine a world in which patients no longer have to be burned so badly by local radiation that their skins are blackened as if they had been in a fire.

That, and more, is what this new treatments will offer to thousands of patients — and not a moment too soon! The trauma that children, women and men everywhere will be spared from is beyond belief.
