Seeing stuff like this is always a bit bitter-sweet. Ignoring the fact that obviously this is a far way from a "cure" in adults, as this is an early stage study, I always feel like seeing how far and how fast we're progressing on these types of diseases just makes me more anxious about being a bit too early. While I think FOMO is a bit of a poor way to put it, since there has been significant advancement within our time, I can't help but think how awful it'd be to get a disease of this caliber in current year knowing that given an extra 10-20 years, you'd like have a much better prognosis. Maybe I'm just over-thinking it here, but even with a less severe and more common cancer, I think the thing I'd struggle the most with would be the unfortunate timing. Perhaps this is insensitive or moronic, but it's been something I've always thought about when I've read about these advancements in the field of cancer treatments. Would be curious to hear how others feel about it, and whether anybody else has this FOMO feeling (for lack of a better description)?
