The one horrible thing about cancer is: you and I can have the same cancer and it acts differently in everyone.
Just because this kid made it by some miracle does not mean you should just chuck chemo out.
Chemo has saved many many lives. There are grown up children today that are alive because of Chemo.
“The one horrible thing about cancer is: you and I can have the same cancer and it acts differently in everyone.”
Incredibly important point you make. As an example, i was discussing with an ER doctor all the things you hear to do for a rattlesnake bite. (where i live, theory often gives way to practice)
He explained how these true stories of “proven treatments” seem 100% true to the bite victim. They arent lying, but they are uninformed. He said how many are actually dry bites, with no venom. I remember him saying how you could do a voodoo incantation over those and they would be “healed”.
This is an example of the danger of listening to testimonials when making medical decisions.
