bird flu and common flu, but wheres the cancer in this one?

Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

Thank you David, for that reassuring information.
I started crunching only a few months ago for climate prediction before I found this most worthwhile project.
R@H grabbed my full attention (& all my computing power) right away. I now intend to add to that meager computing capacity and devote it all to R@H.
In a prior post to this thread, someone suggested that articles such as the thread subject would lend "false hope" to cancer patients. As of four months ago, I have but one lung left to give for my disease. ANY hope - any slight glimmer on the horizon is better than no hope. I find R@H and all other indication that research against cancer and other disease is vigorously ongoing to be that glimmer. Not for myself, but for all of those who will be given the dreaded diagnosis tomorrow, and the next 'morrow,etc. I hope that perhaps by adding more computing capacity, and educating my son, daughters, nephews etc. to the value of R@H, I can get them to keep my machines folding (& maybe add theirs to the mix) long after I'm gone. WOW! I may have some legacy after all. ;)
Thanks again David, for the opportunity to participate and to overcome my layman's attitude of "yeah, that's terrible, but what can I do about it".

my mother in law was part of a few different studies of a experimental treatment that was one shot per day. but her cancer had gotten to a stage that even this treatment couldn't touch it. and with that development she had to withdraw from the study. i believe it was her second program to try, but even though she qualified the results were not what the study was looking for.
this is a tough disease to try and find first being it does not display any symptoms until it is almost to late. hope all the shared computing programs come up with something and our hospital friends find information from those who passed on.

That's too bad. My great Aunt just passed away from bone cancer couple of days ago, so my simpathies go out to any family who has to go through that.

Just read an article couple of days ago where a doctor at the University of Alberta called up a pharmacist to stop sellng the cancer treatment to patients. That kind of surprised me, but when I continued to read the article, it stated that it hasn't been tested on humans yet. @:^S

If there is a chance, yes a slim one, that this might help for those that are in the last few weeks, why take that away? e.g. My mom passed away earlier this year from cancer - the last couple of months the cancer was in an inoperable state so this perhaps could have helped (and it couldn't have made the pain any worse...).
However I can understand if the cancer is still in the treatable stage that it could well be a bad idea to try this.

Prostate Cancer:
I think I will be in first person talking about specific cancer. I have been contributing to Rosetta@home for some time now, hoping to find cure for cancer. Now at age 82 I am diagnosed with prostate cancer at stage 4, 2 months ago. I am undergoing hormone therapy starting last Jan. 2015. I never realized that it will happen to me. I have no symtoms. Active in the Gym 3 days/wk year round, bowling 3 days/wk year round. I told all my friends to have a PSA test to check for cancer even if they do not have any symtoms just to be sure they do not have prostate cancer. This advice is for all of you there too. I am still active, but I do not know how will the therapy affect me and how long will I live from now on.

I turned off my 5computers when I went on vacation. When I return today, I can not upload work. Need work units to run computers.
