  • Beata Halassy had breast cancer - for the third time, despite chemotherapy and a mastectomy.

    She had cancer.

    She gave it measles and it died.  (Nature)

    Beata is a virologist so she prepared her own virus culture - a mild strain intended for vaccine production - and had a colleague administer it.  She has now been cancer-free for four years.

    Naturally she wanted to publish the results of her research - on herself.  That's where the real problems started, because scientific journals didn't want to touch it.

    On the upside - apart from the whole thing about being alive - she now has funding to repeat this research to try to cure cancer in pets.
