Question: Are you confident your research will be worthwhile?

I really hope so – about 7 million people die of cancer each year, which is far far too many. I hope that my work will mean that the right drugs will get to the right people in order to decrease that number. I’m not going to lie – the chance of decreasing that to 0 (or even 4 million people) in our lifetime is pretty unlikely but I’m sure that in our lifetimes, many many more people will be beating cancer…
