Everyone says we need to find "a cure for cancer" and YES, definitely, but there are so many different types that we need at least 50 separate cures. More complex than people give it credit for. What does everyone here think?

I would love nothing more than to find more ways to prevent it from ever occurring than to treat it. I do think early detection is really helping with overall outcomes as well.

I think cancer will continue to mutate so while we “cure” it the body will figure out how to make it incurable anyway. The real question is how to detect it before it actually happens.

However, forget curing cancer..let’s take about why we know next to very little of the brain, mental disorders and addiction.

I think that more than treating each cancer separately is doing what chemotherapy does, this treatment attacks all cancer cells in the body, that is, the cure should be to treat the cell directly.

It is very complex but it is something that little by little will be achieved, what must happen is that the wheel of investigation must not stop.

In my opinion, all cures are investigated separately without problems, because for each type of cancer there is a specialty of medicine and for each specialty, there are many researchers trying to find a cure.

Many investigations are being done right now to attack the different types of cancer, and many others are being done to try to kill cancer cells before they grow, both are valid and in my opinion, more public money should be directed to help these investigations.

Second year at lit boutique. Being asked to draft a lot of briefs from scratch. Work product is great but I take way too long. Not necessarily procrastinating. I just struggle to get a flow state. I rewrite the same sentences over and over. Constantly restructure outline. Always stop to check westlaw. I want to just power through a first draft and add cites/revise prose later. But can’t figure out. Flow state only comes when I’m backed against a wall. Currently on medication. Any other tips?

One of my coworkers is a great guy, but way too religious. I was stressed about project deadlines and he told to me to stop worrying and trust God to handle it. I forgot my meds at home and he claims God would cure my disorder like God magically cured his HIV. Some coworkers got annoyed when his answer to everything is God and told him off. He got offended and told me God told him to find a new job that’s less toxic. I could go on, but I’m sure we all experienced someone this dense.

How do I respectfully tell her I’ve noticed this change in her and ask her to come back home?
