    If I had late stage cancer and a few months to live, I would be happy to receive a shot because the choice between fully cured or possibly dying a bit sooner is not that bad if you your end is near. I guess many people would.

      > fully cured

      They tested 9 bacteria types. 2 reduced the cancer a lot for a while. Another made it disappear for a few days. And one made it disappear for a month, until they ended the experiment and killed the mice as usual.

      Also, it was quite small, like a ball of 7mm or 1/4 inch. I'm not what would happen with bigger tumors.

      So it's promising, but may be a temporal solution.

      It also depends on how painful it is.

    This will be available at very high cost no doubt.
