End of Cancer?

This is great until the nanobots become self-aware then start "terminating" all of us...

Re: End of Cancer?

Maybe it's me, but don't we hear about a new cancer/HIV/etc killer every other year only to never hear from it again?

That's mainly because when you hear about these things they're still in testing and development and are 10 years at least until being proven to work fully. Of course there's also the tricky little matter of the drug companies not REALLY wanting to get it out there because it'd mean a loss of revenue.

(sad but true)

Anyways if this is close to happening and there are no side effects it would be HUGE! I know my family has lost a few members because of Cancer and if only something like that were around back then.

Re: End of Cancer?

I'm gonna show this to a friend. Next week we are going up to the University of Michigan Cancer Treatment Center. He was just diagnosed with a very nasty smooth-muscle sarcoma that is in an inoperable place. I'm taking him for his second chemo round, it's a cocktail of 4 chemo medicines, including one known as "the Red Devil." Maybe he could become a test subject. If the Chemo doesn't work, his prognosis is really poor. Even if it does shrink enough to operate, there are no cases where the person has survived over 5 years. It almost always comes back. He's 45 years old with a 9 year old and a 4 year old. This could be the type of miracle he needs. Needless to say, it's not a happy time for any of us right now. I've known him for 25 years and he was the closest thing I have to a brother on this Earth. This post really means the world to me! Thanks...

Re: End of Cancer?

Forget revenue.. cancer is killing alot of people more than ever and something like this needs to be done

Funny though that you do see this stuff in movies hearing about nanites being injected (GI Joe somebody?) lol, even cartoons.

Makes me wonder how much of that stuff we see in movies is really in existance.

Re: End of Cancer?

I really hope that this is legit. I hate the fact that people could be eating right and exercising etc., only to have cancer come around and take their life. It's not fair. Let self-inflicting diseases rule the earth. Wanna whore around? HIV for you. Wanna eat yourself to death? Diabetes and limb loss for you.

Re: End of Cancer?

well in the case of diabetes some people just get as they are older.

Re: End of Cancer?

I want this to be legit as I've lost a grandmother recently to cancer.

On the flip side... lets say this does work... then there becomes concerns with over population. There's always a counter balance in nature... if humans start to find ways to defeat those checks and balances... we could be basically killing off our species by becoming too healthy.

True, but at least they lived a full life. I don't know man, I just hate this type of disease. It's even more of a shame that cures are out there and they just sit on them so companies (and hospitals) don't lose money. SPTO was on point with that.

Exactly!
We already have the technology that allows cars to run on water. Why aren't these in mass production right now?
Because Big Oil would lose trillions.

The medical field is no different.

Man, I hope he gets in.
My prayers to you and your friend.

I've known too many people that had to endure chemo. It's nasty. You're basically poisoning your body to the point of death hoping that it kills the virus inside.

One of my friends had some heavy doses of it. This dude is one of the strongest natural men I've ever met and the day after receiving treatment he couldn't even muster the strength to unscrew the top of a water bottle or pull the bed sheets over his shoulder.

I hope this treatment is legit too and that it becomes available to the public ASAP.

This is an interesting angle on it. I never thought of this. People die from cancer at an alarming rate. If we could somehow cut those numbers in half with the recent findings, that would go a long way. I know we all have to die, but I'd almost rather be gunned down than live with a degenerative condition.

Checks and balances are needed. Everyone can't live 100 years. I've lost a lot of family/friends over the past decade (4 to cancer). You just wish they could live forever. I'll take on other diseases, but cancer is the one that's been killing us for a long time. I'll be more than happy to kill it permanently for a change.

I am a big believer in conspiracy/withholding information from the public. I worked on a Naval base back in 94 it was my first real job i was an office clerk. I saw some big files on blue chip purchases and what not the government had for different naval stuff. one thing that really proved my point was the burning of information we had a training on how to scan and burn information to disk. Remember this was in 94 going into 95 I believe we didn't get that technology availble to the public til 99 or 2000. among other things i've seen . its not right we all are guinea pigs at the expense of big business and government (not just the US ).

I worry about this too.
However, cancer's such a bad disease and it breaks my heart whenever I think about little kids dying or enduring the pains of treatment (eg. spinal taps).

If we do begin to find cures for horrible diseases, I strongly believe that every country needs to put a cap on the amount of kids we're allowed to have.
I know that's a radical view, but every generation lives longer and healthier. There might not be enough resources on this planet if we continue to multiply at such great speeds and live healthy for 90+ years.

Yeah, the first chemo treatment was pretty bad for him. He ended up getting a GI blockage and now he's gonna lose his hair in a few days. This is what he has: Pleomorphic Rhabdomyosarcoma. It's extremely rare in adults and particularly deadly. His family is taking it pretty hard and isn't an effective support system with all the chemo stuff. I'm laid off from GM still, so I want to be with him through this, as much as I can. I know right now he'd try anything, even up to this. People who are out of traditional options will try just about anything.

The tumor located in his pelvis along the bone and there's no room for what they call "resection." They have to have a clean margin outside of the tumor to ensure they don't cut the tumor. It just doesn't exist right now. So they are, like you said, just about killing him, to try and shrink the cancer to be able to try and take it out. I've been educating myself since I chosen to join in as a caregiver, and pretty much everything I've read is, no surgery, almost a guarantee of less than a year with it metastisizing rapidly throughout the body. So stuff like this is hope, in a pretty much hopeless situation. Sometimes people like him get to be test subjects, because they are the worst cases and will let you do whatever to try and save their lives. He's already said his doctors have prepared him that he has a 91% chance that the chemo won't work and he'll have it spread. Like I told him, we have 9% to work with, I'm gonna show him this. Maybe we've got a few more % to play with...
