Going to start this post with a couple of positive news articles about the big C, I for one found them so hopeful and inspiring we are truly lucky to live in times when our clever Dr's can treat us and keep us alive for longer, surely the cure is just round the corner.
Just had a phone call from my mum telling me about an article in the Daily Mail on the 9th of April all about a new wonder drug that is supposed to be even better than herceptin, its being heralded as the new wonder drug, and can treat not only breast cancer but other cancers like prostrate, pancreatic, bowel, and ovarian cancers.
Here's the link http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2073280/Cancer-treatment-New-super-vaccine-better-wonder-drug-Herceptin.html and http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2127238/Universal-vaccine-tackle-90-cent-cancers-tested-humans-time.html
There is also these two links kindly sent to me by a lady on the BCC forum probing into the science behind it all the first one is quite easy to understand and the second one just went way over my head. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-12-vaccine-breast-cancer-mice.html

Whilst on the subject and worth a watch on the iplayer the Horizon program called "Defeating Cancer" definately worth checking it out if you missed it.http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2011/12/13/1115166109.abstract
