Why is it taking so long time find a cure, or even an effective treatment that doesn’t destroy your body

it’s literally destroying my family person by person, this is half question and half venting.

Cancer is not a disease, it’s a symptom – like fever.

You can’t “cure fever” because new diseases can always pop up that cause fever in a new way.

There isn’t going to be a “cure for cancer”, because there could always be a new form of cancer pop up, perhaps triggered by a new environmental factor.

Many diseases, like diabetes, also cannot be “cured”. We can vaccinate to prevent them, and even some cancers can be prevented this way, but solutions have to be worked out on a disease-by-disease basis.
