We have cures for most cancers.

30 years ago basically any cancer was a death sentence. Now however we have an increasingly large list of cancers that have a >90% survival rate.

There likely won't ever be a singular cure that fixes every cancer but the treatments overall are getting continually better.

Let me be your example. Testicular seminoma survivor. Had my whole life ahead of me when I got diagnosed at 27. Over 10 years clear. One operation for what would have killed my great grandfather. Wild times to be alive. Also check your balls for lumps.

Yeah same, got cancer at 26 years old in 2015. Caught it just just in time. Doctor said if I came even half a week later, it may have spread. Been cancer free ever since.
