Cancer-associated fibroblasts are these cells in the tumour's neighbourhood, yaar, that build a kind of protective wall around it. They stop our own immune soldiers from reaching in to attack the cancer cells.
My doctors in Mumbai explained it like my tumour's own security guards. But I'll tell you what really stops the attack: the cost of getting to the hospital for the new medicines that might break that wall. My immunity is busy fighting the bus fare.
