It can definitely be cured. A lengthy regimin of Doxycycline will cure it in most people. What can't be cured is the damage it causes. The damage is permanent and cumulative. My sewer guy that keeps my sewage system running has to wear braces on his knees due to the cumaltive effects of Lyme. He's had it more times than he can count. His problem is he waited to long too many times before getting treatment. In my cases, I got treatment as soon as I got the bullseye. Other than the bullseye, and the freaking itch that came with that bite on my back, I never had any symptoms. Still don't have any symptoms attributable to Lyme. If you get a tick bite that starts turning red, get to the urgent care and get a prescription, and go back for a followup when the antibiotics are all used.
