      I think it’s difficult, because there are different types of cancer and different treatments. Cost is an issue with any drug or treatment, but hopefully in the near future we will make advances in the drugs available and the cost.

      I don’t think there is one solution to any disease like this, it is just a slog and years of work, with some good news along the way. Everyone will tell you Cancer is a name for thousands of diseases. There are incredibly rich people about, so money is not the problem for them, just lack of cure. I give to cancer charities, as I see it as an investment in my family and friends, because, sadly, one of us is sure to get it
      The news from a couple of weeks ago, where a lady was “cured” buy using her own white cells / antibodies was heartening , both for her and countless other people

      I don’t think that this is true. the nature of scientists is to share knowledge. If you had made the discovery you would want it to be public knowledge,and be out there saving peoples lives. It will be expensive, initially.All scientific research is. It wouldn’t make sense to keep it secret though.
