Good afternoon everyone, I thought I would share an article here that I read in the news yesterday and has been reported on other news agencies. Positive results in trials and research for cancer patients is encouraging for future potential patients, if not immediately available for those currently being treated for cancer. Continuing research and clinical trials are essential in developing new and improved cancer treatments and breakthroughs in diagnosis. I hope you find it interesting and encouraging too. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10890467/Doctors-left-shocked-clinical-trial ..read more
