Rink, who got married two years ago and whose wife expects a baby in September, looked forward jubilantly to getting an artificial leg and a steady job. Osteopath Houghton was more guarded: "We cannot say he is cured-we have to wait five or ten years before we can speak of a cure. But if the disease had progressed normally, this patient would have been dead by now." The Roswell Park doctors, determined not to kindle premature hopes in other cancer victims, said nothing...
