In December of 2012, Su-In Lee was working at the University of Washington in Seattle. One day, she got the kind of call everyone fears: Her father, Cheol Lee, was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer, a rare and aggressive form of the disease. By the time he was diagnosed, his cancer had already spread to other organs. "It was a surprise to our family," Lee said on the newest episode of GeekWire's Health Tech Podcast. "The next day I just went back to Korea and met his doctor and then found that it's incurable, especially in that stage." Not only was his cancer incurable, there actually isn't a single drug designed to treat it.
