I saw this excellent 2001 movie last night, Wit, featuring the very talented Emma Thompson.
Ms. Thompson plays the role of a recently diagnosed victim of terminal ovarian Cancer. She is convinced by doctors to take an experimental and very aggressive treatment of chemotherapy.
Extremely well done and highly recommended!
The politics of Cancer is murky. Some of us are convinced that no one is really looking for a cure. Cancer is big business, worth billions to the economy. Most research money is dedicated to expensive treatments and not a cure.
As a researcher, you never really want to find an answer. Finding an answer will end the research and funds will cease. And it's all about the acquisition of funds.
