      Great question! Yes, I really believe that there will be a cure for cancer, but it may be some years away still. Scientists are doing amazing work into figuring out how and why cells in the body go from being normal to being cancerous. A lot of this work looks at the DNA in the genes in our cells – I think this is the key to the cure, as we have new and exciting ways to find where in all our genes the problems start that lead to cancer, and change these genes so that these problems don’t occur!
