many cancer docs wouldn’t go through chemo either. whether or not they believe in it, they know what it does to the body and they know it can kill you too.

"Hell no, I killed a tumor in each lung with pills a friend makes and a third one with cyberknife and have been clean for 3 years.

Cemo and radiation is for idiots, if the cancer doesn’t kill you the treatment will."

Duh. Cyberknife is radiation.

It is a tough call, but if your little girl was that sick that she saw Jesus come into her room and speak with her (I have been that bad off, once), you might consider things differently.

Killed 2 tumors with pills a friend of mine made and the third one with cyberknife and have been clean for 3 years.

[dalereed]

not like the stinking oncologists put into you!

After the surgeon removed my cancers, I chose to take my chances and skipped the chemo myself. A few percentage improvement in mortality vs 100% chance of morbidity.

Going on two years out without recurrence, it looks like I made the right choice.

But I had a solid tumor that doesn’t respond well to chemo, if I had leukemia, I would definitely try the chemo.

[Nea Wood]

That is fantastic! So happy for you!

[dangerdoc]

Back in the 80’s they were trying to treat cancer with heat in a research hospital I was training at, I never saw anything published but I haven’t seen anything about it since.

[steve86]

if I had leukemia, I would definitely try the chemo.

I think I would try Oxycontin with an exponentially-increasing titration once the pain got unbearable.

[El Cid]

...it does sound like she met Jesus, in which case she’s trusting God...

That is Great news then. Everything else is gravy.
On the scale of things, we are only here for a blink of an eye. Eternity is forever.
You need to be in Christ before you depart.

[dangerdoc]

I have seen a lot of people survive various leukemias/lymphomas, it is worth a shot.

I personally don’t like taking narcs and don’t want to spend the remainder of my days stoned.

[Secret Agent Man]

i do agree it may work better for certain cancers than others. i’d still take natural treatments that wouldn’t interfere with each other or chemo, to boost my immune system if i was on chemo.

[definitelynotaliberal]

I understand that it must have been a difficult time for you. I’m not sure that being abusive to another person, medical professional or otherwise, can alleviate a sufferer’s discomfort, but I hope it worked for you.

[dalereed]

i’m abusive to a lot of people ON PURPOSE!!

My grandchildren had a friend and classmate who went through all the chemo and she died too.

At one time she went through 6 weeks of screaming, agonizing, 24/7 pain that morphine couldn’t touch. She would pass out occasionally but she literally screamed and cried for 6 weeks. She couldn’t have an epidural because they were afraid something would rupture.

One day my grandson was laying in bed with her because she was too weak to do anything and she told him how much she wanted to die. She was ready to see Jesus but she worried about her parents. She knew physical death wasn’t the end.

It has been 10 years now and she would be graduating from HS this coming week.

1.) Trusting God is always the first and best option.
2.) You're replying to many people who decided not to read the entire article.
3.) You're replying to a number of people who have never had to go through the horrors of chemotheraphy, or have never had to comfort loved ones who are.

I hear ya. I have watched chemo kill my poor 36 yr old sister and it did my Dad no good. I pray I have the courage to say no to it if the time comes. There are other treatments that work.

Or maybe extendo time in a sweat lodge? “Spontaneous remission” of cancer frequently follows an episode of high fever. Look that up, too. Don’t trust me. Look it up.

Don't need to look it up. I'm already quite sure that spontaneous remission sometimes (not "frequently!") occurs following a high fever. Also after eating Hawaiian honey for three months straight... Also after watching a "Gilligan's Island" marathon on t.v.

That's why it's called "spontaneous." It means they don't know or can't explain what caused it.

"Post hoc, ergo propter hoc" fallacy.

In a freshly skinned bird, in just a few hours? It takes a lot of fly eggs to make maggots and it takes time. That just wasn’t there.

Sounds like the old Gypsy "great trick."
