Who was the last Astronaut to die from cancer?
Who was the last cancer researcher to die from cancer?
Kemo was first introduced in 1956. It is still used today as the primary treatment of cancer.
That is 62 years without change.
Think about other fields of technology and their advancement over the last 62 years.
The space program, social media, computers, air travel, automobiles, the internet, cost of living, technology..
Yet, we don't have the technology for a cure for cancer.
We supposedly put a man on the moon and back in 1969... but we can't cure cancer.
We can create a life in a test tube.. but we can't cure cancer.
We can clone animals and people.. but we can't cure cancer.
Just sayin'...

The man, who developed one of the first (possibly the first) chemotherapeutic agents (aka Kemo???) in the 1950s, died of cancer in the 1980s. He was a patient in our office.
And his discovery is still used today, most recently by a gentleman I play golf with.
