Good news! I will keep an eye on it.

Wow! Good to know. My mother's brother died with that...

This is the original post that went poof the other day.

Well yeah, the V word is controversial in this age of idiocy.

I think it's important to note the difference between therapeutic vaccines and preventative vaccines. I wish the mass media would be more responsible in their reporting of important discoveries like this one. I personally am thrilled with the discovery of this new treatment. I'm pretty close to someone who this may effect.

" I wish the mass media would be more responsible in their reporting of important discoveries like this one. "

Perhaps. More importantly, I wish politicians who don't know their backsides from a hole in the ground (which for many, there is no difference), who have lied to their constituencies and mobilized their ignorance, would stop pretending it's otherwise.

What Wildchild said. Pancreatic cancer diagnosed early, no spreading, sounds like it could potentially benefit from this. Treatment, not preventative. (wouldn't preventative be wonderful!)

We've lost two friends over the years to cancer of the pancreas. One much older woman who was nearing 'ready to go' for a number of other reasons, the other a young husband and father of two daughters. I don't know at which stage either was diagnosed. But steps forward are certainly important - and I really don't know what kinds of minds are intuitive and creative enough to begin to look into things like this.

From the article in 2nd paragraph,

“During the pandemic, a company in Europe partnered with a pharmaceutical company in America and created a personalized v a c c i n e against Covid," said Dr. Joseph Kim, the Chief of Surgical Oncology at the University of Kentucky’s Chandler Hospital. "It was an mRNA v a c c i n e. People thought this was cool and wondered if they could create v a c c i n e s that target cancer."

There’s something good that came out from the co v i d v a c c i n e development during the pandemic.

(My 2nd try to evade the autofilter)

Mind explaining your word salad Elmer or are you practicing for office in 2028? Don't be so hard on him about his lies, after all it is his son.

I hope this works out. My husband died 11 yrs ago from pancreatic cancer, at age 65. I worry about my 4 children getting it.

Kathsgrdn, I agree...this is wonderful news. The progress they've made with cancer treatments that include the immune system to fight the disease has been stunning. Only a few years ago, people would not have survived what they are surviving today.

Any breakthrough on that front is great news! My Mom, her brother and her cousin all died from pancreatic cancer

My husband's sister-in law died rather than a vaccine, because of politics.

The love of mylife died from that awful disease . nine months from diagnosis to passing

I'm sorry you all lost your loved ones.

I too have known several people who suffered and died so quickly from this type of cancer. I never thought it would happen to them. I'm also sorry for all who have lost.

Test

I cannot create a new thread or post.

I have had a lot of trouble logging in to houzz or garden web.

I repeatedly get an error page

”Sorry… ~ we cannot find any results.”

I have not violated any terms and have not been reprimanded or informed of any perceived infractions or complaints.

I cannot reach ”Emily” and there seems to be an outdated protocol for doing so, and a ?maybe a newer very very circuitous way to do that.

If anyone can find “Emily” please copy paste this note to her.

If I am not going to be allowed access to post as a longstanding member (since the 1990s), I want to at least say goodbye to many friends here on GW and to remove any and all files and info.

I wish member donna_loomis all the best with her surgery (today) and recovery.

Perhaps this is a forced or hacked goodbye; I do not know. I am not feeling energetic or patient enough to f around with this messed up site and no effective way to communicate to management.

If I do not get back to any forum, I just want you all to know, I appreciate every one of you. So many fine people here.

PS edited typos ❤️

My neighbor died of stage IV pancreatic cancer. She was taking ALL the latest treatments, there was one she hadn't tried....but didn't live long enough to try it out. She did live for 1.5 years with it.

I have another neighbor who is working on a faster cancer treatment. He's inventing a collider to work with a manmade isotope...and it works! It just costs too much. He said Germany was interested. I'm hoping ALL the geniuses in the world can work together to find cures for everything that ails us.

@petalique....hang in there.

I lost my nephew, same age as me,to this horrible disease. Any progress is wonderful. He was only forty. Today is his birthday.

Sorry for the interruption. This is heartening news, Kath. For those of you who have lost loved ones to this viscious disease, I extend my deepest sympathies.

Anyone want the pilot of their next airliner to know nothing about flight or physics?

What could go wrong?
