As a cancer survivor, may I add my prayer that all cancer victims realize that their best chance at life lies with the “white coats,” and the path to a quick death is usually via “alternative” medicine. Please do what your oncologist recommends, and if you are exploring concomitant alternatives, please keep in mind that alternative medicine can actually cause you much harm if you are undergoing chemotherapy, so please discuss EVERYTHING with your oncologist, even seemingly innocent substances can be fatal.
Please do what your oncologist recommends ...
To a point I agree. My wife is a 3x fighter of cancer.
You or your caregiver must be your advocate. Without fail you must always know how the patient is feeling and reacting to medicine. We tried of many occasions the 100% white coat treatment and unless you know what is going into the body and what the effects of the disease or medicine, the doctor or nurse will just say “treat the symptom”.
Not good enough. Always question who is taking care of you and ask why are you giving me this medicine? What will it do to me?
Finding the right balance in life most important. I believe never giving up and never taking no for an answer.
