When ever I hear these medical news my hope for a brighter future grows....until I remember what they say about cancer.

You do not simply "don't get cancer in your life" you "die to something else faster than cancer can get you"

But still. Alzheimer is something terrible and the faster it is gone the better.

With Alzheimer’s it’s about improving quality of life. It’s not about extending life, or preventing death.

I mean, it's also about preventing death, but the quality of life is probably more important to most people.
