Call me skeptical. Not of the statistics but of the winning aspect.
Based on my experience we are no where near winning. It seems to me that modern medicine doesn't even understand the disease at this point and the main treatments for it are barbaric. Poison your body to kill the cancer and how the poison doesn't kill you first. Cut the cancer out and hope it doesn't come back.
Very little focus is applied to what actually is causing it and how we can reduce its occurrence.
Lost my mother to cancer and currently have two friends in traditional treatment and one doing non-traditional methods. To me it still feels like we are in the blood letting stage of fighting cancer.

I don't have answers. I have many questions. There are people pushing cures and diets. I don't know if any of them work but I do know this... the focus is on drugs and expensive treatments and not prevention. Its once again an incentive problem.
If you have a company that sells drugs you research drugs, not dietary or environmental changes.
Over and over again I hear from people that are diagnosed with cancer that their doctors have zero advice about diet. Its absurd. I'm no expert but I have read of research showing that cancer feeds off of sugar. This has been known for a very long time. So why do they give patients "food" and drinks full of sugar in the hospital?

Yeah it is crazy. My sister-in-law died of what is considered a childhood cancer. It is particularly deadly because it is usually not detected until it is already stage 4. The unbelievable thing is my wife’s family are health nuts compared to mine and they avoided sugary and ultra processed foods yet she wound up with cancer.
sorry for your loss

aren't childhood cancers rare to begin with?
lung cancer is down among 20 year olds... this is cause for celebration?
edit:
regarding non traditional treatments, is it Ivermectin?
