I lost my much beloved wife to glioblastoma in 1998. She was 33 when diagnosed, and died at 35. She left behind a 2-year old daughter, and two mid-teen sons. We had done all the traditional therapies: surgery, chemo and radiation. We even went to Mexico for a few months of bogus "medicine". I wish this therapy was around at that time. I am so glad for those who can now be saved.
This is the best news I have heard since losing my wife and best friend.
I'm sorry for your loss. 🙏🏽
@@seekinggodfirst754 Although you hear these two words often, "thank you" is all I can say.
My story is so similar.
My sincerest condolence for your loss. I wish you peace and comfort.
I am so so sorry. It breaks me when I hear stories like this. Lord I pray there will be a cure. I know two men fighting it right now. My daughter was diagnosed at 14 with part glio. My thought everyday is when will it come back and I will be losing my daughter like this. God Bless you and your family.no one understands unless they have been thru it.
I have stage four breast cancer. My doctor looked at me in the eye and said “you will live for years, and in your lifetime, there will be a cure. My hope is that you are healthy enough for that cure to work”. I’ve heard similar things for many different types of cancer. They are close. Keep praying for a cure!
I’m praying for you and needed to hear this hope! Thank you. 💕
Definitely in my Prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼
What an awesome doctor! I'm so very happy for your excellent, brilliant support and I hope I can say group❤🎉
Prayers don't work. Science does.
What a wonderful doctor 🙏 blessings and prayers of love and health to you 🤍
A friend of mine passed last year from glioblastoma. Since he was on Medicaid, he wasn't given this care. He asked for standard of care, yet was ignored. This treatment is only for those who can afford it or whose insurance companies approve it. A disgrace.
That is so sad. Did your friend ever contact Duke university? They should take the millions that people have donated and paid to have this cure. The FDA doesn't want a cure too many people would be out of high paying jobs.
Move to somewhere else. It's insane to get sick in States.
They choose 3 people out of 1000 that apply each year and 12000 die from this cancer every year. The doctor that approves people is not going to choose due to an insurance matter. His criteria is based on science.
My sister died at age 35. She lived just two weeks after they found the brain tumor. It was so large it was inoperable. Taking the biopsy caused swelling and it choked the brain stem the same night after the procedure. She left behind her husband and three teenage sons. God please lead these doctors to find a cure.
Glioblastoma (GBM), also referred to as a grade IV astrocytoma, is a fast-growing and aggressive brain tumor. It invades the nearby brain tissue, but generally does not spread to distant organs. GBMs can arise in the brain de novo or evolve from lower-grade astrocytoma.
Dr burzynski already has the cure specifically designed to each patient. Fda took him to court and he beat the fda in court with all his terminal stage 4 cancer patients testifying on his behalf after they were cured.
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your sister 😭.
God bless
GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🙏🙏
To those of us who are cancer free, let's remember to appreciate life, be kind to others, be happy, don't fret over the little things and live healthy to prevent cancer.
I was thinking the same thing. Everyday is a blessing. Much love and healing to everyone. 🫶🏼
I get mad because I run out of Coke
And for God's sake, don't smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco!!! And this is coming from somebody whose family used to be in the tobacco business.
Great advice
Absolutely, there's so much to appreciate than to fret over. As long as you protect yourself and your loved ones.
Bravo to the trial participants. I was in two separate Phase 1 clinical trials that used immunotherapy to treat advanced ovarian cancer. That was 23 years ago. I’ve been cancer free since.
God bless you and hope God continue to bless you. My mother was diagnosed with an ultra rare cancer 14 months ago. She had miracles but she is still fighting for her life. I pray to God that she has more miracles
Are you able to give us details on the trial?
Yes please let us know what trials you did. I have a recurrence and want to know what else is out there 🙏
@@annesandstrommusic7538 if you had to sign an NDA then fair enough but since you had success in one people wanted to know which one. How would we know which one from a list without a name?
@@jazzip The trials ended over 20 years ago. The first one use a protein called CYP 1B1. The second was a variation of GVAX, which is used for some cancers still. There have been many advances in 22 years.
My six month old neice has just been diagnosed with a melanotic neuro ectodermal brain tumour. Its a very rare, very aggressive benign tumor. They are currently unable to operate due to where it is. Its slightly bigger than the size of a tennis ball. She is on her first lot of chemotherapy which will be on and off for 80 days. Please pray for her❤❤❤
Lord hear our prayers.
🙏🙏🙏
How's your niece doing hopefully really well
@johno-gb7ci she's doing fantastic thank you, she was able to have it operated on just before Christmas as it had shrunk thanks to the chemo. Though she didn't complete her chemo as it was damaging her kidney. She's doing amazingly, it went so much better than the surgeons thought that it would. So much so that there is only 2% of the tumour left! It's now a case of monitoring to see whether it grows or not. Thank you for the prayers and well wishes 🙏
I am praying for her and all those who love this awesome mom
Humanity at its very best. People working hard for years and years just to help other people. A wonderfully hopeful and exciting report. Thank you to the doctors, researchers, nurses and patients who made this breakthrough possible.
Problem is big pharmas ripping off the ill
Breakthrough, chemotherapy and radiation all 100% unsuccessful, even it will damage more you're body or part of which had tumor, please avoid it , I have done it both not cure my tumor but I become more sick & weak after all I did surgery and cut tumor that's my own experience
Absolutely Right
And this cure will never see the light of day because Big Pharma doesn't want to cure cancer.
Rest in peace to everyone who died with cancer.
The fight still continues 💪

My mom and my sister. Rest
I am truly sorry abou your losses. May the Lord grant their souls everlasting happiness and peace. You guys may the Lord be with you and comfort you all the time. I can understanding the pain and the sorrow. I lost my beloved younger brother due to accident just a few months ago. Dad passed away in April 2020 I was not even allowed to be at his funeral due to covid. So let's be strong things happen for reasons. Stay safe and well xx❤
I am a Survivor of 20 yrs this April from Cancer treated at Duke University. I was 27 at the time. Now I am being treated again at Duke, this time for a Brain Tumor. I had surgery last year but unfortunately it has come back. I know I am in the best care possible and I am very Thankful to have one of the Best Hospitals available to help me.

Why isn’t this headline news! Thank you 60 minutes for this story. Bless Nancy & Stephanie and the others in the study 🙏🏼
I'm crying as I watch this... I had the same exact Cancer😠 Surgery was in 2005 when I was living in Alaska. I've been in a nursing home for 6 years... I just turned 60 years old, even that is MIRACLE to me.❤
Oh ever, this awesome JOY gives me so much HOPE for Brain Cancer people in the future... it's probably happening know. THANK GOD!!😊
My dad had glioblastoma… he passed in the summer of 2015. Dad had never been sick a day in his life until then. Watching my dad deteriorate and wither in nothing but skin and bones was devastating. I pray a cure is found.
Same thing with my dad, but it was colorectal cancer. He was 80-yrs-old. Worked out 5 days a week, volunteered on two political campaigns and was my brother's business manager for his psychology practice - in his spare time. He was vibrant, healthy, still mentally sharp, and had no symptoms - other than constipation. He had that checked out cuz he was so regular, and it ended up being an issue. He had a blockage in his colon and needed hospitalization.
He was at stage IV, given 6 months with no treatment - up to 6 years if it worked. It didn't. He had the blockage, which put off treatment - then he kept having issues with his blood checks before chemo, and they'd tell him he had to wait another week. He was in horrible pain. He lost his appetite. The chemo ate him up - and it didn't work. He lost 30 pounds - and he was a small framed man. Then he ended up with another blockage. The did surgery, which was what Dad asked for right away, but at that point, he was so weak from losing weight, his body shut down. He became septic and never recovered. It was BRUTAL. He was gone in 4.5 months - January 12, 2019. I'll never forget the date.
Cancer is so horrific, it can't be natural. I can't help thinking humans are creating this because of all the changes we've made to nature. 😢
@@TH-camAddictcreatedbyGoogle Medical advances have allowed humans to live much longer than they did in the past. Increased chances of developing cancer is probably a natural part of aging.

Last weekend my friend flew all the way from Barcelona to Sidney. His only daughter of 39 has discovered that she's having a breast cancer. Her late husband was also an only child, died in an accident years ago. In-laws in their 70s & 80s respectively, she has no one to take care of her two daughters -- cancer is a monster, I hope she'll get through this with flying colours ❤️.
Cancer is a fungus…,,,,and I wouldn’t be surprised if Ivermectin would treat cancer bc it’s a popular medicine used on horses and I’ve never really heard nor read of horses getting cancer?! I’m not a doctor just putting 1+1 together……and since they’re using a virus that was laid to rest decades ago = now it makes since why it’s back & they’re pushing for polio vaccines to be given again?!
Prayers
🙏🏼
🙏
I will be Praying for her. 🙏
I lost my mother to this horrible cancer. She was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma at Duke in 1990 at age 58. After 2 surgeries from diagnosis to death was only one year. It is ironic that these breakthroughs are now happening at the same hospital. I pray it is a successful trial as my mothers journey was heartbreaking and very difficult.
Thank you for doing this. My daughter found brain cancer for 19 years. She tried everything they threw at her. First gamaknife, three d radiation, radiation seeds, vp16 chemo, regular chemo. And she was glad to try something that would help others. I pray that they soon find a cure. Thank you again for doing this and sharing your journey with everyone. God Bless.
She found it? How'd she manage that?
@@llamalady8700 she means she fought brain cancer
What about Alternative Medicine..Nobody talks about it..
My husband passed from a GBM in 2007. He did, awake brain surgery, chemo and radiation but also got into a vaccinatiion therapy program at UCLA medical center. He lived 3.5 years with this curse. His father also passed from the same thing. This program brought me to tears.
I'm so sorry. I have someone who passed away from this too..I pray for your heart to heal. I pray it continues to work. I pray for hope....it's not luck....it's God.. I'm immunocompromised so I don't think it would work for me. But I am praying for those it does work for.....Pray the breakthrough status is passed...

My son died from this in 2018. Two major surgeries. I wish this would have been available to help my son. 😢 I'm so happy to see some major success with immunotherapy. ❤ ❤ ❤ He was 29.
So sorry for your huge loss 😔
Available? Oh, FDA hadn't made it a break through therapy. Seems if we can blast out fake vaccines via the DOD's planned response, we could Warp Speed all under approved cancer cures.
this was a 2015/2016 report. what have they done with this since then?
@@ladybugwest909 it turned out not to be cure 😢

Excessive alcohol and cigarettes consumption made me suffered a 20 years lungs cancer. It's just amazing how psilocybin mushrooms treatment saved my life honestly. 5 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without alcohol and cigarettes.And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them.very hard to get a reliable source here in Germany. Really need!
Yes I'm very sure of Dr.benshrooms. my first shrooms trip was really awesome. It felt like I was deep into the sea.
I hate that psilocybin gets grouped with drugs like cocaine and heroin. Mushrooms are a remedy, not a vice!
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
I lost a friend, 2 uncles, a cousin, and an aunt to cancer. This breakthrough gives me hope for others who are facing the pain of knowing someone they love has cancer and walking the journey towards goodbye in this life.
You do understand that pretty much all cancer is just a result of a horrible diet right? You don’t need polio to treat and possibly cure cancer. You need a low carb ketogenic/zero carb carnivorous diet. You must eat a proper human diet and at the very least, stop eating foods not appropriate for humans
Lost my fiance due to brain cancer, almost exactly one year ago to this day. I hope this saves many lives and ends the suffering and loss of so many good people.
I am sorry to hear that. I send you my best wishes. Take care.
My friend contracted glioblastoma in 2016 and was given the polio injection during his treatment. Unfortunately, it did not work and he passed away in 2018. These stories are from 2016. I wonder what new findings have been made since this time. So sorry for the losses of Stephanie and Brendan. They were so brave.
@moonrunrs That is what I am wondering also. I hope 60 Minutes bring us more because we are now into 2023 so what is happening with this study and the therapy?@60 Minutes

As a cancer survivor myself I just love to see videos like this
This is HUGE! I cried😭🙌🏾🥰So many including my mom's life cut short to cancer. I'm so glad an answer has come while I'm alive😇
I remember hearing about the polio virus cancer trials more than 10 years ago. I tried searching for it again years later, and finding no trace of any such treatment on the Internet. People thought I was making things up when I told them about it. glad to see it become main stream knowledge.
This documentary unfortunately was from 2015
@@theancientsancients1769 she may have heard of the (successful/promising) animal trials before the human trials (this documentary) started.
I don't know if this is a coincidence, but I have the same experience. I had a cousin who passed away from this aggressive brain cancer, and this was a bittersweet topic back then. I remember this episode back in 2015. I wonder why they are airing it again.
To all the doctors involved in this research, thank you so much and very sorry for the families whose loved ones did not make it!
And thanks to all the patients who take the risk of an unknown therapy. The information gathered from their cases will hopefully create hope for many people in the future.
Did you forget what they did to the country during Covid? The lies they told. Worst kind of interviews ever. 😢😢😢😢😢😢bye
@@SusanJohnston ?, what lies, please remind me. 😢
This is the best breakthrough I've seen yet. My mom passed away at 51 from brain cancer so I hope this is ready to the public for 100% of the population with cancer.
Nancy died within a year, 2016
Never available for poor people, WHY??? 2023. I had stage 4 prostate cancer.. THANKS FOR NOTHING.
What an emotional rollercoaster this video was. At the end seeing beautiful Stephanie Hopper lipscomb doing so well and becoming an RN and her angelic face then closing message on screen that she passed away in February 2020. Tears. F@ck cancer!
Hopper not Harper
I could weep buckets..
She lasted 5 years with it
Did Stephanie eventually die?
F cancer not, f bad food! Cancer is a sign something in your life needs to change
My daughter passed in 2020. She was 36 and left behind, a 16yr old son, who is now going to graduate from high school. I know if she was still here she would throw him a big party . I will now be doing that for her with friends.
Good luck from Sweden 🎉❤
My sympathies
I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child - it must be horrendous.
Kind regards from Paris, France
So sad pharmaceutical companies don't want a cure to cancer they make so much money selling pills with no cures just profits 😢
Jesus, please protect these wonderful patients.
What a brave woman.
My prayers are with you Nancy.
I lost my wife to gliosarcoma June 23, 2004. Gliosarcoma is similar to the glioblastoma discussed in this video but even more aggressive. She fought it with grace and courage for 18 months, 3 times longer than she was given at diagnosis. She was also a 5 year breast cancer survivor, the two cancers being unrelated.
The MRI's shown here could have been hers insofar as they're so similar. Seeing these brings back such a rush of painful memories. Sighs, I miss her terribly.
Yet my heart is gladdened by this report, with the hope others will not have to endure what she and I did.
I have the gray ribbon for brain cancer as my profile avatar. For all those who fought and lost, lest we forget, and to those few who've fought and won, your courage is beyond compare.
I can't help but wonder, if this had been available in 2004 would she have died anyway or would she still be with me? sobs
I'm sorry for your loss. 🙏🏽
@@seekinggodfirst754 Thank you for your kindness.
Please accept my condolences, The Lonesome Fisherman.
Bless you. She is waiting for you. You will be reunited through Jesus.
I lost my Mom to a Glio. She only lasted 2 months after diagnosis. Rest easy to all who we’ve lost to this horrible cancer.
They are all horrible. I lost my husband, a lifelong non smoker to lung cancer.
My dad lasted 30 days.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ 🙏
My husband was diagnosed with Glio...he lasted 9 days after his biopsy. Prayers to all who are suffering with this and those loved ones watching and waiting for a cure.
I went through the same situation and I know how it feels.
I was so happy to hear about Brendan Steele and Stephanie Hopper stories and I hoped that they would live for a very long time. But reading the text in the end was very emotional. I hope their families are greatful of the extra time they could spend together.
I cried throughout this whole 60 minutes special. I think God that this really is working for other patients. If I could do anything in my life it would be to save a person who has cancer and doesn't know about the proper therapies that are more modern that can help so much. It is so terrible that the doctors don't or Not educated it is terrible that Duke University or whoever else knew about this therapy didn't share with all the oncologist in every hospital in the world.
I am a survivor of stage 4 lung cancer for 4 years.nearly died from every chemo treatment because of allergic shock.took 25 radiation treatments, was like laying in the sun,loved it.and when it shrank from the tennis ball sized to a much smaller size, the surgeon then aggressively opening me up,not only removing the tumor but half my right lung and ,a rib or two.i never expected to live thru it all.i am 61 years young.the strangest thing came out of all this.when you live for years with the mind set you are dieing.,and it turns out your going to live,you have to learn how to live like your living again.
Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you! I hope you stay cancer free!!
Question, how did you get the doctor to operate. My mothers gynecologist opposes to my mom getting surgery on a breast cancer net nodule she has in her lung. She insists that it’s pointless to remove it as the cancer is already in her body beyond her breast.
@@adrianapereda2173 Question: how do they know the nodule in the lung is from the breast cancer? Just curious…. If they don’t biopsy it, how do they know?
what caused your lung cancer, smoking. When the radiation shrunk the tumor, why not continue with the radiation until there was no tumor. What was the need for surgery
@intriverttoo24731
This brought tears to my eyes. My uncle has been living with cancer for over 20 years! Unfortunately, my great-aunt did not. She suffered from complications of the radiation and had to be airlifted to a burn unit where she later passed. I am glad you survived it! I am also tearing up, because an AI-generated family tree erroneously said that my uncle passed. No matter how much technology we have, there is always room for error. I think getting a second opinion regarding treatment options can also help.
That's exactly what makes 60 minutes the best program on earth. Thank you so much and thanks the medical professionals who devote heroic efforts to overcome dreadful diseases.
Lost my mom to glioblastoma in 1997... She never got to see my two grandchildren/ her great grandchildren... Wish they'd had this treatment back then. Keep going, doctors !
Dad’s biopsy diagnosis came in last Friday, stage four glioblastoma, front right hemisphere - def want in on this and certainly anyone w this terrible disease. My heart to all of you affected by this horror.🙏🏻
Ok well you need to absolutely get your dad on a carnivore diet. He needs to stop eating carbs and t toxic plant food immediately. Idk why everyone is waiting for a cure.

It's inspirational. I might consider it as a career. Nothing better than making a lasting impact on humanity.
@@Miguel-jm2pf you need more than a feeling of 'might consider' to enter this sort of speciality. It's not a job, it's a vocation and I believe the best are born knowing they will go into this sort of medical science.

Stephane, the first patient undergo the polio trial, died in 2020 at age 28. Sad as that is, she was afforded eight full years of life she wouldn't have had without the treatment. Cancer is a horror, and will be for a very long time.
I'm glad she was able to marry first before she past.

@@chercuts It wasn't disclosed. She worked as a nurse and died after the start of the pandemic, is all I've read.

Twice she went to 2 different doctors, after having cancer previously even, and they didn't believe her. They said her pain was "just a part of getting older" or "it comes with aging." No it doesn't. It was cancer again and so much time got wasted. I miss her EVERY day.

*But perhaps she got married to a guy named "Hopper" after this final 60 Minutes broadcast?*
*The fact that the final write up didn't say what she died of, would lead most to assume she died of a new tumor, which answers that scientist's question "will the killer T-cells remember tumors"....apparently not.*
@@Christian_Prepper I remember the story is, that the Nurse girl elected to be treated with an untested treatment. She said she had no problem taking it because she had "nothing left to lose." So make sense she is the first patient.
So how did she die
As a recipient of Duke's amazing, life saving therapy, I can only thank them, and God for having had the opportunity of participating in such great medical achievement. It truly is a miracle. I thank them for giving me a second chance at life and giving me hope. Their facility, staff and thd work they do is world class. The absolute best there is. Also Stephanie and family, thank you for being so brave and risking it all. You have saved many lives and a great deal of credit goes to you.
thats awesome! but whats the state of the research now? dukes website says its only a 21% survival rate.. this coverage is very confusing
So happy you too were a participant at Dukes and under the care of such a dedicated medical team. Alongside you, I too must commend and thank Stephanie for her bravery along her journey to recovery, an angel for sure, but again not forgetting the doctors and researchers who facilitated this. Wishing you too a long, healthy and successful 'second' life, and may God continue to overlook you along that path.

Glad to hear it worked for you! Has this been improved and used in a wider scale context? It looks like this treatment saved some lives
My mom passed away 3 months ago from a glioblastoma. Duke didn’t accept her to the clinical trial :(
@@AstonSubstantive 21% isn't great odds. If that is true this video borders on misinformation.
So grateful to the clinicians and patients in this study🙏🏼
Thank God that there are smart people in this world like these doctors to battle this disease in a very untraditional manner.
Wow , this was heartbreaking at the end . Thank you 60 minutes for bringing this to us .
The first participants are brave. Wishing the researchers much success down the road, and the patients cure and health. 👏🏼👏🏼
I wish i knew about this for my husband. Newly married, 2016 Brain surgery at 49 only 10 days before his 50 bday. Passed in 2018, the tumor crossed over the bridge from left to right. He was a fighter.
Hopefully the pharmaceutical industry doesn't shut this down. The cancer industry is worth over $305B and it's only been getting bigger. Normally, you'd expect some kind of update since it was given breakthrough status 6 years ago by now. Suspicious.
I completely agree
It sucks after all that & she still passed away 2 years ago. Bless her family
5 years is way better than 5 months still
My sister lost her life to this in Dec 2021. 2 brain surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy. My heart will forever be broken.
Please get this available to the many who are dying daily of glioblastomas. We need this available. It does no good if its just with half a dozen folks in a lab. This needs to change the world asap.
Still in research phase
Amazing and genius - praying this works for humanity
I don't know these people but these stories are so heartbreaking that tears come out of my eyes.
♥️
Which is why I started to watch but just can't continue .... its too devestating.
We are on the same page. I heard from this Doctor that chemo is is scam😢. He said there is cure for cancer ( natural cure ) but our government is hiding it from us. My father died of cancer and my sister in law. I feel their pain 😔 😟.
with you. there are no words, only sorrow.
Bless this woman and healing prayers for everyone affected by cancer.
80-10-10 diet and making sure the body has normal ph levels n cancer cannot grow.
Rev 18:23 and Galatians 5:19….
Sorcery is pharmaceuticals and sorcerers will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.
If god cured cancer. We wouldn't need hospitals. Prayer doesn't work. Put your faith in science.
I'm amazed to hear the miracle of this study today; may god keep blessing you so that your scarifies be fruit full!
Bless that woman's heart that was talkin towards the end and bless everybody that survived this and bless the amazing doctors that are doing amazing work amen amen.
This is amazing. My sister passed away at age 44 from Pancreatic Cancer in 2009. I wish they would have found these treatments sooner. May all people who lost their battle to cancer RIP. 😢🙏🏻
Amazing but everyone else in this story has since died. :( Stephanie Lipscomb & Nancy Justice. Stephanie was just 28) So very sad...
Sorry for your loss ❤
Ivermectin and fenben
Just know that the insurance probably won't cover this for MOST people and the FDA definitely won't make it cheap even if they do approve it after all the trials.
Currently undergoing Folfironox treatment for pancreatic Ca.. No mention of immunotherapy from any of the oncologists, GI docs or oncologist surgeon.
Many thanks and much gratitude to this brave woman, Nancy Justice, who passed away April 6, 2016, two years after her pioneering participation in this program. Thank you Nancy for all you did for cancer patients everywhere.
She did great work for more than just cancer patients. Her mindset alone can a great teaching lesson for many.
Why did not this treatment cure her
@@bostonfrank6739 watch and you can come to your own conclusion as there is no definitive answer
2 years extra. I hope she got to see her kids graduate. :3
It kind of sucks to be in the receiving end of a dose testing trial, in extreme cases people can outright die. But there is on other way to ensure safety for the people to come. Thanks a lot to all the people involved in it.
So encouraging! So Amazing! So greatful for this hopeful cure! Ty Dr.
So interesting. So sad. I'm 76 and have many health problems. I had polio at 5. Every day is a bonus. Love to all my fellow-humans❤ ❤❤
May Allah ( God ) Bless you and guide you to the right path. The Quran heals people who sincerely read and recite it. Best wishes ❤
I’m curious, have you ever had cancer? I’m wondering if having polio immunized you against cancer, my father had polio and never had cancer.
@@cindybonem494 No I haven't. Yet!
@@personofinterest8731 well, that’s interesting.🤔
@@cindybonem494 ☘️🤞
Wow. Science is amazing. I was saved from cancer by a new drug 18 yrs ago. Had stage 4 cancer yet here I am. So happy for these people
Science is amazing which is why people need to listen when it comes to Covid.
What was the new drug? Where was it used?
@@mmb1572 last thing you need for COVID is a bs vaccine!
Wow I wish I would have known you and read your comment with my sister's husband had it he did not survive and he didn't have it long at all it was like I suddenly😢
Did you can't say that you're safe from cancer by quote a new drug unquote without saying what the drug was so other people can evaluate it. That's completely unfair and inconsiderate of many people who are looking at these stories because either they or their friends or family have cancer and they're looking for answers. Please State what the drug was and what type of cancer you had.
🎉🎉🎉 Quite a story... I truly wish the success for all those afflicted with this treatment and those that spring from it. And my heart goes out to Nancy's Family.
God Bless you two men.
Thank you
Thank you❤
RIP, Nancy. I am crying buckets over you being gone.
Your smile is radiant and gives hope to so many. Your courage and pioneering spirit are amazing!
🌻🌷💕💕💕
Look up Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer 😇
Spoiler alert? 😅
SoNancy died of what? Glioblastoma or other natural causes??
She died?
Just buried my cousin 5 days ago.....wishing we would have known this was an option.....we would have tried ANYTHING!!!!! Rest in peace Melissa
We love you soooooo much!
Sending you good energy hope everything goes smooth for you and everybody
Well, here we are 8 years later and people are still dying from glioblastoma.
my dad died of this when i was 12 on 2012, im glad people are getting close to a cure no one deserves to die in such pain
When we die of old age, our grandchildren will learn how to treat old age and reverse aging. What an irony.
This treatment clearly has great potential. May all who died rest in peace. Very bittersweet.
Kudos to the doctors and the patients.
Thank you sharing , you are helping others with those very words...
My life partner of more than 20 years succumbed to glioblastoma multiforme in about 4 months. For these folks to have kicked it down for all those years is heart-wrenchingly beautiful, for anyone who’s not seen what this beast does will not understand. Duke U. You go! That this beast eventually took these brave souls only speaks to how vital this research is. Thank you Duke.
I'm so sorry for your loss friend.
Scotty I am so, so sorry for the loss of your beautiful lady. Gentle hugs and love. My precious Mam passed because of this horrible tumour. It was the size of a grapefruit before we know. I nursed her until she passed away and I am still broken hearted. I just got her home and within 4 weeks she was gone.
I asked her Specialist not to tell her but he did. He said she had a lucid moment and asked him. I can't remember much about that day.
I made her a promise to get her home and I did.
It was heartbreaking to see her face because she knew she was coming home to die.
I miss her so much, she was my best friend.
You are in my thoughts. 🕊
@@bungalowjuice7225
I am glad Nancy lived 2 years after this treatment.
I am so, so sorry about Donna.
I just wish they would find a cure for every Cancer. Much love. 🕊
It may not have been the cure they had hoped for, bit it did help prolong their lives. In Stephanie's case, it gave her 8 more years... long enough for her parents to see her get married. It may not yet be a cure, but it definitely has potential to be a blessing. That is what needs to be remembered.
At the rate AI tech is advancing, it can't be too much longer.
Yes, very true! And it is surely on the right track... closer than they ever were before to curing cancer.
It looks like the doctor (2nd patient) died a month after Stephanie in 2020. All three died of a re-occurrence of their brain cancer. The first two had good lives for years before it came back. Brendan had more ongoing issues because of his brain damage from bleeding and had more struggles with it re-appearing quicker but still got years added on.
It would seem like this treatment is currently not a "cure" as you mentioned but does give some people extended remission time and maybe it will work better in the future. As a cancer survivor of over 20 years myself I personally never say I am cured but just note that I am currently cancer free and hope to stay that way. I don't think anyone that has had cancer ever knows if it will come back............
@@jaycahow4667 huh. I wonder if it would work if they give them another dose when the cancer comes back. Have they tried that?
@@pattyfluegel7816 Yes Brendan volunteered and became the first person to have a second Polio treatment (along with Chemo) when his cancer returned but he died a year later as it did not have the same positive effect (he had other health issues as well). This treatment is extending life for some which is great as they have no hope but it is still far from being a "cure".
Just amazing. Even one is cured is amazing.
Team @60 minutes, you are doing a great job. Thank you very much for the great quality videos.
My aunt is fighting this right now! Heartbreaking 💔 but I pray 🙏🏾 that this helps other! 💕
I am very grateful for the success of this much needed therapy. As an RN my heart dropped when I realized that Stephanie Hopper was Stephanie Lipscomb, the trail blazer of this research. 60 minutes should add her maiden name at 54:10. May her light continue to shine through and through to these brave souls and their families.
@Mel M Yes, it seemed given Stephanie's young age & then recovering to do what she wanted as a career, a nurse, this was a shock. To have 8 years added to her life & swept away is tear jerking. This kind of makes me wonder, and likely those at Duke doesn't yet, what's the life expectancy? Yes, she was the 1st patient who received the trial, and probably the longest to live out of all. At least she did get 8 more years, mostly quality ones, but I wonder, would just a tiny little more or less had made a difference? She was a brave and amazing woman.
Remember when they greatly increased dosage, that's when outcomes weren't as good, however I don't expect everyone to receive the same. Later, some would get less than Stephanie & do good, but we don't know when the list was last up to date, because she was alive. Too, maybe it was the type of cancer being treated. It's my hope that Stephanie Lipscomb's journey is the beginning of something large.❤
Because for decades, over half or 3/4th a century, treatment was radiation, surgery & chemo (or burn, slash & poison). Many are caught in late Stage 3 or 4, as am sure many of these patients were & desperate. Some lives a few weeks, others a few years, depending on how early or late caught, age & am sure physical condition as well. Hopefully will be tested on other cancers & soon, because there's lots of other patients that wants a shot at life too.💯
At that point they introduced her as Lipscomb.
I thought the same thing, Mel. There also should have been a cause of death. Did the gioblastoma return?
That was the saddest part to me. I thought maybe she survived but no, it must have come back 8 years later. At least she got those 8 years. My grandmother had a different form of cancer, and after surgery, radiation, and chemo, the cancer seemed to go away, and she went back to a seemingly normal life for 6 years, and then all of a sudden she got really sick, and they found out the cancer had come back. It seems like cancers get more aggressive when then return. She died a month after it came back.
@@madeleine7411If you google it you will see that her cancer did return.
Wow!!! Gives so many hope & life again!!
Thank you Lord!!
This episode gives me hope. Great job.
My mother passed on from glioblastoma and liver/pancreatic cancer in 2014. As much as I miss her and all my loved ones that have passed, I believe we all go to a much better place, people and animals, and that we’ll all be reunited again. Love and peace to all ❤🙏🏻
May God’s grace sustain and strengthen you during this incredibly difficult time. Very sorry for your loss.
@@boxlessthinker1973 Thank you so much
You would think only women get brain tumors or is women appear to be more sympathetic to the viewers?
Daniel 12:2 says there will be a resurrection on earth, and Jesus confirmed it at John 5:28,29 and so soon all those who are resurrected will have prospect of never getting sick anymore- Isaiah 33:24 hope this helps bring you comfort.
@@truthsetsfree1975 thank you, I believe that with all my heart and soul that will be for all of us
This cancer killed my Goddaughter. At 34. She left behind 2 baby girls, 2 and 4. 5 years later, their Dad remarried, but Gretchen is celebrated on every occasion.....They were from GA too.... I SO pray this works.....
Miss you G....I KNOW you're looking down.
The last time I saw her was at Duke. I drove down from VA BEACH. I still see her...
@Alex Perez I'm honestly curious about why you would spend your time to bother writing something like this.
😢
WOW this is incredible!!
Thanks to all of you.
My best friend/sister, just past away in January 2023 from a glioblastoma that was the size of a golfball behind her right eye. She went through the radition, chemo, surgery, the whole nine yards. After surgery the tumor just went on a speed growth. She was given 3 to 6 months to live. She lived for 5 1/2 month from the first day of diagnosis. She was a veteran, and was receiving help from the veterans hospital, and a special oncologly hospital in Florida. I miss her so much.
Very sorry to hear that Alea.
