Since my grandmother and mother were both afflicted by Alzheimers, I would like to see more research in that area. Its one of those unknowns. Not to sound callous or cold, but many diseases are caused by neglect or abuse by the individual. Those should be further down the list. On the top should be those diseases that strike children - the innocents. When I see kids with cancer, I crumble.
Alzheimers is prevalent on both sides of my family, particularly my father's side. My maternal grandmother bucked the trend as she still has a sharp mind at 95.
Thus, I'm hopeful for advances in cures and treatment for Alzheimers as I may be headed down that path some day.
As for cancer I'm optimistic that we will see a cure.
