I abdolutely disagree that oncolgy is a racket:
-—my mom had breast cancer in 2000, had surgery and chemo, has been cancer-free for 17 years and is in good health
—my oldest sister had breast cancer in 2002, had surgery and chemo, has been cancer free for 15 years and is in good health
—my first cousin had breast cancer in 2012, had surgery and chemo, is cancer free and in good health
—a dear friend at work had stage 4 lung cancer, diagnosed in 2013, went through chemo and radiation, is currently cancer-free an is in good health
I too know of women who survived breast cancer with surgery and chemo.
I am with you roo roo bird, my own hub had two months of the harshest chemo available before a bone marrow transplant. It’s been six years now.
They do double blind studies, you know, and they play the odds. No one pretended to us that it would be easy or he had a guarantee of life. They just gave him the ACCURATE odds. Lots of factors involved.
I think it’s fine for a person to opt out of chemo etc but to act like the medical profession is killing people is overall stupid. There is a reason the richest come HERE for cancer treatment. The hospital we went to, one of the top ten in the country, had lots of private pays in hijabs and etc paying top dollar for the best cancer treatment on earth.
