Let me explain what this means so that you understand better.
In a hospital in Vietnam, a 12 year old girl was very sick with blood cancer (that's leukemia)
The cancer kept coming back, even after strong medicine and a special gift of blood cells from her dad was given to her.
Then the doctors decided to try something new called CAR-T treatment.
They took some of the girl's own fighter cells ( that's the ones that help fight sickness) out of her blood. They sent those cells to medical scientists in Taiwan.
When the cells arrived, these scientist gave the fighter cells a special lock that could find and stick only to the bad cancer cells.They made millions of these fighter cells and put them back into the girl through a little tube in her arm.
The fighters then went looking for the cancer, found it, grabbed it, and destroyed it.
After some hard days with fever and doctors watching her closely, all the cancer disappeared.
She became the first kid in Vietnam to get better this way. When other treatments didn't work, her own body, with a little help, became the hero that saved her. Now other sick kids and even adults alike might have this same chance too.

This is an huge breakthrough in the medical world. And I'm glad that many lives would be saved. This would give so much closure and hope to victims of cancer or loved ones affected one way or the other by cancer.
This year already looks very promising and there's renewed hope.
This time, the hope can be felt, touched, smelt and seen very visibly.
The light at the end of the tunnel, is now at the entrance. Staring at us right in the face. And yessss we loving it!

Antara bencana sebenar yang boleh buatkan Bumi gelap berpanjangan, tak kira siang dan malam ini bukan bencana ribut suria (solar storm), tetapi letusan gunung berapi.
Masa gunung berapi Tambora meletus di Indonesia pada tahun 1815, sepanjang tahun dunia bergelap. Tapi bukan gelap gelitalah. Cuma langit mendung memanjang sebab cahaya matahari dihalang oleh kepulan asap gunung berapi yang naik lebih 4,300 m. Kepulan asap ini membawa sulfur dioksida yang menyebabkan hujan jadi berasid.
Iklim terganggu sehingga menyebabkan suhu dunia menurun sampai 0.4 darjah Celsius. Masa itu, musim panas di Eropah pun dah dikira paling sejuk daripada mana-mana musim sejuk sampaikan tahun 1815 dianggap sebagai "Tahun tanpa Musim Panas".
Cahaya matahari pudar, cuaca pun sejuk. Hujan asid lagi. Kesannya? Pertanian hancur, tanaman tak berapa nak jadi. Tanaman hancur, haiwan ternakan pun mati. Kelaparan besar-besaran pun merebak ke satu dunia. Harga barang pun naik sebab bekalan makanan terhad.
Dianggarkan peristiwa bencana ini telah menyebabkan kematian sekitar 100,000 orang.
