  According to the latest statistics by CRUK, now more than half of the people that get cancer will survive for 10 or more years. It is great news, right?
  
  Scientists like myself and doctors are trying hard to make this an even larger number of people, so that, one day, cancer will only be a treatable or chronic disease.
