don't cure it, death rates are too low, there are too many humans and it's only going to get worse.

The cure cancer is to eliminate the causes in my opinion.

Junk food and toxic substances like tobacco, various psychotropic drugs etc.

Recently learnt I may have a serious yeast infection and that can also contribute to cancer. Attempting to get tests done by doctors but heard that people who do have it face great difficulty making progress.

Cancer is almost impossible to "cure" because it it involves the necessary machinery for our cells to reproduce. Negative lifestyle impacts make it more likely to get a "bad bounce" but random mutations (always occurring in all of us due to the metabolic process) eventually will give rise to one that causes a cell to hijack its reproduction systems (telemorase etc) int going out of control.

There is one way (scary) known way to stop cancer: genetically engineer our cells to not have the ability to reproduce at all...unfortunately this would require us all to have frequent stem cell infusions to survive.

I hope your joking.

As much as we have a problem with over consumption taking it out on unborn life is wrong.
