My mother was diagnosed with endometrial cancer at the start of 2020. If you haven’t known someone diagnosed with cancer recently, it might not be obvious how advanced cancer treatment and care is now. You see so many stories about new cancer treatments or prevention strategies all the time, and it’s so easy to discount it as just more spam, but we’re getting extremely good at making people better, even in comparison to as recently as a decade ago. Not perfect, but the trajectory is very steep.

(Disclaimer, I’m not an expert, I was just pretty amazed by how the whole process was customized and targeted for her specific case.)

I’m sure this isn’t a catch-all, and it’s bad to put hope in “one thing to solve it all”, but this sure is exciting.
