Chemotherapy could allow cancer to spread, and trigger more aggressive tumours, a new study suggests.
Researchers in the US studied the impact of drugs on patients with breast cancer and found medication increases the chance of cancer cells migrating to other parts of the body, where they are almost always lethal.
Around 55,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Britain every year and 11,000 will die from their illness.
Many are given chemotherapy before surgery, but the new research suggests that, although it shrinks tumours in the short term, it could trigger the spread of cancer cells around the body.
It is thought the toxic medication switches on a repair mechanism in the body which ultimately allows tumours to grow back stronger. It also increases the number of ‘doorways’ on blood vessels which allow cancer to spread throughout the body.

Do you have links to any studies on that?

I had my first mammogram a couple of months ago. The woman doing the mammogram told me that 70% of first timers get called back to have further tests and not to fret if that happened to me. Sure enough, they found something in the left breast that they wanted to further look at with a different type of test.
After some deliberation, I refused the further test. And after reading about the "breast cancer industry" and unnecessary secondary tests, biopsies, and misdiagnosis, I believe I was right in going with my gut.
As far as chemo, I had an extended family member get diagnosed with lung cancer in July 2013. He did the chemo hoping it would prolong his life. That's what the doctors told him. I believe in my heart that it sped things up. Because of the chemo, he was horribly sick for the remainder, and his body was riddled throughout with cancer after 3 months of "treatment". He died at the end September 2013. If I had a diagnose of such, I would refuse to do chemo. And no more mammograms for me.
I have to just shake my head at articles like this. 12 years now after being treated for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, yeah Chemo sucked ALOT... but hey, im still here.
My doc warned me about these silly “treatments” she said most people who try them come back AFTER the cancer continues to grow... uh no thanks, I’ll stick with science please.
I don’t recommend anyone try your form of non-treatment, unless the simply prefer to die early. Good luck. I prefer to rely on modern science and add prayer to it. Chemo saves lives. Not always, but often, and much more often than sunlight and non GMO foods. Notice that it never worked for the old times, before GMO foods and roofs were invented? Never mind. Good luck.
Thanks for the heads-up, doctor stupid. We’ll all just rely on your treatment and get a nice tan while cancer eats away at us. You should not be giving an opinion. You are not qualified. At all.
My wife died one month ago from complications from the cancer she had. The chemo really did a number on her and she was on five different regimens of chemo/immunotherapy since she was diagnosed in January 2014. It did extend her life 3 1/2 years but she was sick from the side-effects of the chemo for most of that time. If I’m ever diagnosed with cancer, I’m opting for palliative care and let nature take it’s course...
wow. it must have been that the surgery reset her immune system !!!
That is the sort of thing that needs to be studied and harnessed.
Flax is high in phyto-estrogens not good for estrogen fed cancers.
Since it caused cancer to spontaneously remit I imagine that it was not good for the cancer, so I guess you are right.
Hard to argue against success, But your mileage may vary.
Sadly that’s almost every cancer story I know...treated, looks great for a while, returns in many places with a vengeance.
I wonder what political leanings these scientists have. Using words like “It is thought that....may turn on”, etc., makes one think they are looking for a way to validate that global climate change is a real issue and the data needs to be manipulated to get folks to believe it.
Bump for later.
Lots of research and family history, phyto-estrogens feed certain cancers. They should not be consumed by women with those cancers or women with family history of them. My holistic based oncologist showed me the studies. Soy and other foods which are high in phyto-estrogens are no longer in my diet.
I would then guess breast cancer is not one of them. However the active ingredient is omega 3 oil with some speculation among doctors that the issue is a severe omega 6 to omega 3 imbalance.
Fish oil capsules may be a better choice given his information. Also avoiding feed lot beef for grass fed beef as feed lot beef has a very high omega 6 level. 12 times as much as normal. In grass fed beef the Omega 3 and 6 levels are balanced with each other.
Thank you for your information, it is quite valuable. Next time you see your doctor please ask which types of cancer. I will try and look it up on this end.
The vitamin D3 therapy for some reason does not work with brain cancers, nobody to date has figured out why. But it works with all known body cancers.
Chemo causes cancer, known for decades.
Ever notice that in old times cancer was virtually unheard of?
Oh... it did work!
Chaga mushroom is an immune modulate and also strips the camouflage from cancer cells. It is prescribed by doctors in Ruzsia.
Mammograms can spread an in situ cancer also. There is a lot of debate about why we do not give the patients informed consent. Big radiology deserves the lawsuit they will eventually get.
My wife, literally “the-girl-next-door”, lost a battle w/breast cancer at 28....just 7 months after it was discovered.
Thankfully, she suffered only in her final 2 months - it is truly an evil & insidious disease.
