6. There is hope in the vaccine research

Hi, it seems like I have read, and admired, your posts forever.

I am keeping my eye on the research being done at places like Roswell Park in Buffalo. They are going into trials with a very promising cancer vaccine that acts not only as a prophylactic but also attacks existing cancer cells. I believe there will be break-throughs -- perhaps they aren't imminent but they are somewhere on the horizon.

My niece had a malignant brain tumor removed. They got it all but she must take MRIs every three months. Although she is resigned to the fact that she might have a short life, I am very hopeful that she will be able to live to old age because of the research that is now in the pipeline.
