My grandma spent a cool million dollars in the 70s on her state of art cancer treatment. Beat the first one but it went elsewhere and she also beat that. Passed away in 2017.

Cancer has a cure, it's $ just like HIV.

I don’t know. Steve Jobs was top 5 richest when pancreatic cancer got him.

Granted, that’s one of the worst ones, but his cash was just about the closest things to infinite.

He had a more treatable form in an early stage, but went for the natural/alternative therapy that this thread is espousing & it didn’t work. He would have lived longer, maybe much longer, with modern medicine.

I’m all for healthy skepticism, but modern cancer treatments are actually legit, as someone whose parents both went through the rigamarole. Naturalistic/holistic/ancient stuff doesn’t do much of anything once the disease has progressed.
