This is fantastic news! I don’t even think there have been any comparable leaps in the treatment of any other type of cancer recently that I have heard of. I agree with you Stephen - we hear so frequently of all the (relatively) minor advances in the treatment of cervical & breast cancer on the news. I would bet that most of the funding came from the aussies, as I would be damned if uncle Helengrad would allow such funding fpr prostate cancer research in NZ.

Yes, very scary how secret the research has been. Even to the extent my own Dad had this treatment and, as far as I am aware, he was not enlightened that he was part of a research project.

That said, the treatment has been successful and our family’s thanks go out ot these people who are making inroads into this insidious health issue.

This is terrific news.
Analysing like I know Warren Farrel would I have to make some terrible conclusions.

Just compare the resources put into this trans-Tasman research with the enormous amount put into treating (and simultaneously therefore researching treatment of)breast and cervical cancer. Yeah, a startling contrast right?

Also note how silent for all these years the powers that be have been about this research. Not even Prime Ministers of New Zealand I wrote to alluded to it. Freaky.
