I’ve always felt like cancer is one big war, but in reality, it’s more like countless small battles happening all at once. I have a friend who went through this — he had a very rare form of cancer and had to do multiple rounds of chemo, and each round felt like starting over again because what worked once didn’t always work again.

Now, seeing that cancers once thought to be nearly hopeless have five-year survival rates going up, it’s really impressive. I just hope we’ll keep seeing more good news like this in the future.

That's also how wars work. World wars, anyway! (May there never be another)

I hope your friend is doing okay.
