Every once in a while there will be a headline in a national newspaper stating something along the lines of a breakthrough having been made in the fight against cancer.
Today's Telegraph surpassed all with a headline claiming that we are now in the endgame . One thing these stories have in common is that one never hears anything of them ever again. Indeed, I just went to the Telegraph site and there was not a trace of what was their leading story a few hours ago.
I have a horrible feeling that these stories amount to no more than press releases from pharmaceutical companies cynically designed to boost their share prices. How the hell they become headline news is beyond me but I feel angry for those with cancer who must grasp at things like this as a ray of hope. Presumably only to be cruelly let down.
