I have a large personal interest in cancer cures. Many things seem to be on the near horizon. But, what can be disconcerting for cancer patients is that the horizon seems to be a constantly moving target. The time lag from great results posted in the news and actual drugs in clinical use is the difference between life and death for most with life threatening cancer now. I have a fairly good idea of the reasons why, but it's still frustrating. Fortunately, some are able to extend their lives using tweaks to already in-use therapies and hopefully will qualify for these new drugs when they finally show up for real.
