I hope in my lifetime, I will get to see a new cancer treatment that works well. I've watched too many people die such painful deaths. The chemo is bad. The radiation is bad. When it decides to start causing pain and shutting down limbs and body functions. Terrible. Reversing that would be amazing.

Agreed. Immunotherapy is a great start but it is only applicable for a very small section of cancer patients. I hope we can look back at our current treatments as barbaric once we unlock more specific treatments. Cancer also isn't a one size fits all, it might end up as a lot of similarly manifesting diseases that don't have a general holy grail fix.
