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 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!

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.

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❤❤❤

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.

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.

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!!😊

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.

Rest in peace to everyone who died with cancer. The fight still continues 💪 Rest in peace mom 4/26/2002😢

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.

Why isn’t this headline news! Thank you 60 minutes for this story. Bless Nancy & Stephanie and the others in the study 🙏🏼

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.

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.

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.

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.

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😇
-
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!

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 ❤️.

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.

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.
