Truly sorry to hear about your loss. But want to say that after a period where the definition of cancer broadened out to a multitude of diseases as you say, with the help of genetics I think it's starting to converge back - many different cancers work through similar genetic mechanisms. We're slowly starting to understand common themes that act broadly across many cancers. With the help of recent advances in sequencing people are finally getting a grip on tumor heterogeneity (something that was previously misunderstood) and it seems like across many cancers, we are starting to get a feel for how cancer responds in common ways to drug interventions, and why it can be so resilient and difficult to eradicate. So yes, lots of diseases, but underlying it all, there's a common genetic architecture.
