As we greet another fabulous Friday, with brains fried by the week and flitting toward the weekend, it is my pleasure to offer someone else's wisdom for your consideration.
"There are no villains in this story in the old-fashioned sense. If anything, we are all victims of the pressures created by a disease that won't wait for answers. We eagerly turn to technologies we hope will work, and by the time we learn that they may not, we are too committed to change course... The fact is oncology is a business, as well as the grounds for trying to keep people from dying of cancer. Sometimes, its business side stands in the way of its larger, more noble goals."
- Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer
I have been ploughing through this book since April (yikes!) but am determined to finish it soon! More on this amazing book next week... Have a great weekend!
