My good friend treated his lung cancer with radiation and chemicals. He’s dead now.

I’m glad that holistic medicine worked for her.

There have been recent studies that Ivermectin works better than chemo on prostate, bladder, and breast cancer. Doctor may have used that or similar drugs to treat her.

Life did not exist for that person outside of doctors offices medications, pain and puking. It only prolonged their existence by maybe a year and a half. I say existence because there was no real life. The chemo and radiation did more damage than had the cancer taken them away.

Same for my friend who died of brain cancer. She'd have been better off letting the cancer take her. It would have been six months instead of 18 months, but I think they would have been better quality of life.

“Now they’re saying positive things about ivermectin to prevent — maybe cure — breast cancer.”

Exactly. Ivermectin, methylene blue, inositol ... Big pharma has a cash cow called cancer! Frig’ big pharma!!

Getting your body in ketosis. Germans and Russians have been doing this for a hundred years.

I agree with both of you. I’m alive thanks to chemo and all the other treatments and surgeries.

I got to see my kids grow up. Others were not so lucky, even though they fought hard.

Life is never guaranteed, but we take our best shot at it.

Elle’s cancer was very early stage, so maybe she didn’t need chemo.

But, it’s necessary in many other cases.

PROSTRATE CANCER IS THE MOST TREATABLE CANCER THERE IS. And your quip is not amusing. My wife has had cancer twice, got a double mastectomy, chemo and all the radiation a person can get in an entire lifetime, and she’s doing fine after 30 years. Lost my mother and 2 younger sisters in their 50s in the span of 18 months, all to cancer. Its ALL in God’s hands so maybe you should think about that.

It's not a "quip", and no: you're damned right it's not amusing.

The man is D E A D. The last year of his life with radiation and chemo was torture.

Its ALL in God’s hands so maybe you should think about that.

Weird story.

There are some cancers - like her early-stage non-metastasized breast cancer - where one can make a reasonable gamble to forgo radiation or chemo after a surgery with good margins. The stress and aging that those therapies put on your body are one of the reasons, and if your stock in trade is being youthful and beautiful, maybe all the more reason to do so.

There are some cancers - like highly metastasized anything, or pancreatic cancer, or inoperable brain tumors - where the radiation and chemo impose a lot of pain for a very low level of benefit. Foregoing them to enjoy the few intact months you have left and then float on home on morphine in hospice is not a bad decision. Frankly this decision is more driven by how well your spouse and kids can cope with the inevitable. I’ve had several friends with totally hopeless cancer diagnoses put themselves through hell because their family couldn’t cope with them “giving up.”

But in between, come on. Survival rates with contemporary therapies for many cancers are an order of magnitude better than where they were. Shave your head, toke you medical MJ, buy yourself a $5,000 tailored suit to enjoy your new chemo-trim body, and live to see your grandkids graduate.

“There are some cancers - like her early-stage non-metastasized breast cancer - where one can make a reasonable gamble to forgo radiation or chemo after a surgery with good margins.”

That was/is me when I was 65. The mammogram technology was so good that mine was detected when very small. No chemo or radiation. Lumpectomy was offered as an option, but I chose mastectomy; I thought it would be safer.

If it returns in another area, at 76 I might choose to forego extreme treatment. I watched my friend die slowly and tragically in spite of so many “treatments”.
