@Heidel_bro1563 Bavinck refined it further.
"Any science, philosophy, or knowledge which supposes that it can stand on its own pretensions, and can leave God out of its assumptions, becomes its own opposite, and disillusions everyone who builds his expectations on it." (Our Reasonable Faith,p20)
The reason high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas are not treated is not because they are incurable. It is rather because they do not fit neatly into the bins imposed by a large, slow-moving, and heavily regulated industry. The system can treat low- to intermediate- grade cancers very well. It is ill-suited for disease that doesn't wait for the next approval.
High-grade cancers like SCLC, pancreatic, and liver cancer kill ~180k–220k Americans yearly. They progress in weeks to months and don’t fit our rigid, slow-moving system built for cancers that take months or years.
President Carter’s long survival showed these diseases can, in fact, be managed.
Proposal: Create a voluntary “High-Grade Aggressive Cancer Rapid-Adaptation Subpool” with informed consent, biomarker-driven adaptive treatment, and reduced barriers.
This is the Everyman Cancer Act — for working people most often affected by these high-grade, highly-anaplastic cancers, whom the system too often fails.
Would value your thoughts. @RobertKennedyJr
