      So I used to work as part of a team that made a virus that would only kill cancer cells and leave normal cells alone, so that was cool. It requires a lot more testing though – but maybe one day it will be used to help treat patients.

      There are loads of people all researching potential cures, all around the world. So one day (but I don’t think it’ll be too soon) we should be able to cure cancer.
