Thank you. I forgot to mention last weekend she almost passed out and it wasn't from the cancer come to find out she had a mini stroke. All at the age of 24. It's been rough

Anyone that thinks they don't have a cure for at least 75% of the cancers out there are just kidding themselves, and it's disgusting that these cures are being withheld from the general public. 10 years ago my dad was diagnosed with a rare form of soft tissue sarcoma. His doctors at the James gave him a small chance of survival. What they didn't know was the fact that he had a very successful construction business. After 6 months of chemo and approximately 100K of out-of-pocket expenses, he has been cancer free for 9 1/2 years. There are cancers that all the money in the world can't help, but the vast majorities of cancers are able to be survived if you have the money. There was a local millionaire with brain cancer that survived for 20+ years, until he was 78 yrs old, because he had the money to pay for the right treatments. Kinda like how Magic Johnson has survived HIV for something like 23 years now.
