      Oh, there’s loads of anti-cancer drugs available. The ones I worked with were called busulphan, melphalan and niraparib, (what a mouthful!) but there’s loads more available. Weirdly you don’t always need drugs to cure cancer – there’s also radiotherapy, where they fire ionising radiation at the cancer cells, or sometimes they can just operate and cut the cancer out with a knife.
