The second in our two-part series on Cancer in the Granite State. President Obama announced "a cancer moonshot" in his State of the Union address earlier this year, with increased funding for research and treatment in the hopes of accelerating the search for a cure. We look at advances in cancer treatment recently, including promising methods such as immunotherapy. We also examine the latest research and developments in the search for a cure. Plus, we delve into the financial and emotional stresses of dealing with the disease.
