@earl-of-trumps saidThat is excellent!
I've had it. Prostate. It scared the living daylights out of me to hear that diagnosis.
And of course, one of the happiest days I've had is when they told me the treatment worked.
My mum was treated for cervical cancer all the way back in the mid 1960’s and was completely cured after a total hysterectomy. She put it down to a very good GP who helped get her diagnosed very quickly.
@earl-of-trumps saidGreat news for you.

@earl-of-trumps saidMy father also had it which is why I have the check every year, a simple blood test can save your life. He didn't end up dying of it.

@very-rusty saidDefinitely not all cancer, indeed. This guff about "curing cancer" is as much bluster as a conference bringing "world peace" or a diet making everybody healthy and disease-free (vitamin D, anyone?).
Possibly certain types of cancer, I don't know about all cancer.
Nevertheless, this is good news. If there's a new treatment for some kinds of cancer, that at least does some good. Curing all cancer patients with a miracle cure is nonsense; but curing some, or many, patients with a specific therapy is something worth striving for all the same.
