Do you think there will ever be a cure for cancer?

Yes but there's not really any money in a cure

There and to the left a bit

It's entirely possible and to an extent there already are cures for *some* cancers in that it doesn't have to be the death sentence it once was if caught early enough etc

The thing is cancer is often used like it's a singular thing, when in fact it takes on many different forms and guises and effects - so I'm not sure it will ever be eradicated completely but there are breakthroughs being made all the time to the point that life expectancy is vastly different now to what it was even 20 or 30 years ago

No. There’ll be better treatments to a ‘cure’ for Cancer isnt really possible as you simply cannot prevent the random mutation of crlls

La la land

Not all cancers I don't believe there will be in my life time. Even say breast cancer are a lot of various causes.

For people saying there is no drive financially, course there is. We now vaccinate against HPV which will prevent the majority of cervical cancers.

So whilst we may not cure all cancers our detection and treatments will continue to improve.

Wonder how long it will be until any form of cancer will no longer be a death sentence

As someone who is effected by this I hope so, but it's unlikely. Hubby was diagnosed last year. There's no money in curing cancer, but lots of of money for drug companies to make it "treatable". Sadly as I've seen first hand, covid took over and many treatments simply stopped. Thankfully through his stubbornness, other half's chemo has restarted

I'm sorry to hear that, hope treatment goes well.

Having cancer is not necessarily a death sentence. For example, most men with prostate cancer die of something else.

Agreed I'm just wondering when all cancer types will be "treatable"

This. It's lots of different problems with difficult solutions which work to various degrees or not.

I'm wishing you all the best in what your going through right now. Positive thinking and visualization is the key, those aren't empty words as I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor myself.

I was told at the age of 20 that my Hodgkin's Lymphoma was so far advanced I wouldn't live beyond 6 months, last week I turned 51.

I hear what a lot of people are saying about how if there was a cure then the lucrative money made from treatments would cease over night.

However there would surely be a cure to sell and their name in lights...

We live in hope
