Tiny Pacemaker

Massive innovation in computer/cell phone/battery technologies enables this tiny pacemaker.

Within a decade, it could be even smaller with better battery life.   Innovation never stops.  It never stopped before and will not stop in the future.   Without even knowing a lot what we know today about immune system, HIV got a cure within 15 years of the virus being first discovered.

Are we the cancer patients, including the breast cancer patients the only ones stuck in an innovation-deficient hell, where the word "cure" dare not appear in peer reviewed scientific journals?   There are lots of hope, lots of interesting research, but the focus on metastasis is not always there.  Hopefully this is changing:
