My dad died of colon cancer, all they had for him after surgery didn't stop it is a drug that is from the 1950's or 60's that can add a little time to somebody's life, at most 2 years. Occassionally I google to see if there have been advancements since he died and there's nothing really, same dismal prognosis for people. Their big advancement is early detection by getting people screened and scoped regularly - which is smart but come on, that's no advancement.
If the world of technology moved at the same pace medical science does we'd be lucky to be online with IBM286 computers and 24 baud modems and cellphones the size of shoeboxes.
