"A new personalised brain cancer jab can trigger the body’s own immune system to attack the most lethal and aggressive form of the disease, early studies suggest.

The first human trial of the mRNA vaccine, tested on just four patients, found it triggers a strong immune response to fight malignant glioblastoma".

1. I hope work on this progresses rapidly

At this point, it would be the last hope for Cecile Richards.

2. Oh no. I did not know she was sick. Damn that cancer.

7. A TERRIBLE one.

9. I was really upset to learn that she had it

I had not heard from her for a while, but just assumed it was because she was so busy. When she was head of PP, she was a whirlwind. I never imagined it was due to this.

3. A perfect case

For people volunteering for early testing of the proceedure. I have had friends with this and it is not pretty.

4. Never thought I'd see cures for different cancers,

but it looks like we're going to see them soon. Things like this make me a little hopeful. The world is seeing all of these scientific discoveries, but unfortunately our political problems haven't been progressing alongside our medical breakthroughs and other advances. It's like a bunch of cavemen finding a cache of modern weapons.

5. Despise the term "jab" (British, I think), pet peeve of mine

But, the science looks extraordinary

6. Perhaps because you're just not used to it....

Do you think the British find it strange that we Americans “get [a] shot”? I think I’d rather be jabbed than shot. Sounds a little less drastic.

And yes, yay for science!
