Reply to comment by 17FeretsAndaPelican in Experimental “FLASH” cancer treatment aces first human trial by tonymmorley

The oncology sector has the most new drugs approved each year, each of them being approved on the basis of adding some benefit over traditional regimens. The improvements may seem minor with each new drug approval but the net effect over many years is drastically improved cancer outcomes.

I hear you. But I watched my mum die in 2003 (not looking for sympathy) and a few months ago I watched blow for blow the same thing happen to someone else like it was an action replay. I'll believe it when I see it. Until then I'm just gunna donate to cancer research and ignore it until I have to go through it like most people.

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m sure my previous comment provides no comfort when you see it happen to friends and family.

I also don't want people to think I'm discounting the incredibly hardworking researchers and doctors fighting tirelessly to save lives. They do absolutely everything they can.

I'm just whinging.
