> we've made a small dent with immunotherapies and a few other things, but the dent is just not a big as you'd think with the money poured into the research

I'm in my 40's and I never met either of my grandmothers because they died of breast cancer in their late 20s / early 30s. Two of my aunts are breast cancer survivors and are in their late 60s. I know SEVERAL cancer survivors, and even the ones who haven't survived ended up living a lot longer - and better quality life - than they would have a generation or two ago.

There's still work to be done, but we really have come a long way in treating cancer.
