  Hello Knives and pens, (funny name)
  
  The pen is mightier than the knife, I mean sword 🙂
  
  The main reason I wanted to do research on cancer was because someone very close to be suffered and overcame breat cancer, it was since then that I became very interested in how it forms and how could it possibly be reversed. It affects many people all over the world and I hope that my research will help millions of people.
