Comment Re:Someone is confusing copyright with trademark. (Score 1) 55

No, trademark is about using an image ot phrase to identify a specific brand as such and not an imitator. That is why trademarks do not transfer to types of good and services other than the one for which the trademark was originally issued. To use a famous example, Apple Records and Apple Computer do not infringe on each other's trademarks.

"so where does "money" come from and where did it go?"
I get the feeling that you conceive of money as a static pile of cash that gets shared out and moved around. That's not how money works at all. You may want to read up on how the money supply works. TLDR version: Money is being constantly created and destroyed as banks lend and fiscal assets change in value.

What you want ain't happening, by the very nature of the disease. It takes only a handful of cancerous cells among the trillions in your body to cause a recurrence. It's a needle in a haystack you'll never find, and even if it's present, it may not gain a foothold again.
"Your chances of remaining cancer-free look good" is the best you're gonna get.
