Sorry. This doesn't pass the smell test. Chemotherapy works by killing the fastest growing cells in your body. That is why people lose their hair and sometimes their fingernails. But it also target cancer cells which divide and multiply at random. I am glad we have had the use of various chemotherapies. They have exponentially helped far more people than they may have hurt.

i agree. i think this is just justification for the NHS to avoid expensive chemo.
...similar to the recent “studies” that show prostate tests, and cancer screenings and even EKGs to be of little benefit.

From UK “healthcare”, could mean fewer having “chemo” and off the “dole” sooner. The socialist would like to see “life expentcy” drop among the masses.
