    Thanks for taking time to comment. Who would have ever thought to put something so deadly into the tumor/cancer and watch the body take it from there. Amazing!

    That was a phenomenal 60-Minutes segment. I haven’t heard of any cancer research more exciting than this—for a wide range of cancers!
