An Answer or a Bigger Problem?

Researchers are testing technology which would enable them to use light sensitive drugs to fight some types of Cancer.

But one of the side effects of such treatment is that the subject may be left with a sensitivity to light.

Given that the Pineal gland needs darkness to produce melanin (a Cancer fighting agent)

Is being more sensitive to light really what is desired?
Would this sensitivity inhibit ones ability to fight other types of Cancer further down the road?

Sometimes, answers are not solutions.
