Hey if a cancer mutates that is actually bad news because the current strain still lingers and will re-emerge once the mutated cancer gets cured from chemotherapy. It's just "window dressing" which is done for terminally ill patients.
To explain this concept, people with cancer are often told their cancer is "treatable" but even if *hypothetically* a drug in europe can extend your life 10% but gives you excruciating pain and makes you defecate yourself 10 times per day (which if you know anyone who has undergone chemotherapy -- that is what I just described) then that is all the word "treatable" actually means.
If a specific type of cancer, if there is a drug that extends your life 10% but with side effects which overall worsen the quality of life for you the other 90% of the time, it's technically sold as good news because the cancer is "treatable".
I lost my dad to cancer and we lost him in 3 years but his original prognosis was 2 years. The chemotherapy may have helped him live like an extra 6 months but he was unrecognizable during chemo (combined with radiation) for like 60% of those 3 years not due to the cancer but due to the chemo and radiation.
Here is the exact type of cancer which affected my family member and the pain is 100x worse than the woman describes. But more importantly it explains how a cancer can mutate into a treatable variation but the underlying origins for the mutant strain still reside sparkled throughout your body due to metasticization.
