They’ve got to loosen the rules on “fast-tracking” these things. There are a lot of people with nothing to lose.
True: My great aunt had an inoperable malignancy on her spine in the 50’s. Radiation was the “magical cure” then, but they didn’t know how much to use, she had nothing to lose, she signed some papers, and they treated her. They shot it so hard with cobalt-60 that it left a burn mark on the OTHER side of her body, and left a “pit” in her back that never healed. Really dangerous - but she lived another 45 years and died of extreme old age, so it was worth it.
My grade school teacher told me that the hospitals in Chicago tried out some radioactive therapies that were so nasty that the people that it didn’t cure had to be sealed in metal/lead water-tight caskets.
