I'm glad the kid might recover. But it's pretty horrifying to think that if they had continued with the treatment in the manner that they usually do, he would have died.

It really does make you wonder whether treatment protocols are all wrong -- if the early successes with chemotherapy have made people continue down the "more is better" path instead of doing the absolute minimum necessary to hold the disease in check. This kid was saved by not having the immune-suppressing drugs for as long as the protocol called for.

Our treatment methods are so primitive. Poison the entire body to reach one (or several) tumors. There are some companies that are trying various approaches to target tumors locally but -- who knows if there aren't more cancer cells floating around the person's body?

This is why Kevetrin is so exciting. If something can turn on the body's own defenses, the way that this kid's own white blood cells may have killed off the cancer cells, it is going to be and incredible step in a better direction.
