I wonder how many here, given a serious cancer diagnosis in the future, would refuse drugs of this derivation

I can only speak for myself, but I wouldn't take it.

I work at taking care of my health so I don't get cancer in the first place. It's not like a lottery. To a large extent, there are causes and effects that determine who gets it and who doesn't. If I WOULD develop cancer, I'd have a lot more faith in natural methods of enhancing my innate immune system to fight off the cancer than any artificial chemicals that might actually do more harm than good to my immune system.

And if my own approach doesn't work? I have no illusions of immortality. After seeing what two of my sisters went through in their last couple of years of treatment before eventually succumbing to cancer, I'll pass on that. No treatment for me, outside of probably something to make the pain bearable.

I've had a good life. When I die, whether it's tomorrow or 30 years from now, some will grieve, and then they'll move on with their lives. Just like people have been doing for thousands of years.

“I work at taking care of my health so I don’t get cancer in the first place. It’s not like a lottery. To a large extent, there are causes and effects that determine who gets it and who doesn’t”

I got breast cancer in 2014. Live a healthy life. No history of cancer in my family on either side. I blame it on a few years of incredible stress, and there’s a lot of data connecting stress to weakening the immune system.

I believe that the freak-out fear porn in the spring of 2020 wreaked havoc on people’s immune systems. It would be interesting to know if those who over reacted to the hype were those who eventually came down with Fauci Flu.

I agree with your belief that taking good care of one’s health helps to avoid cancer.

On the other hand, lots of people who have done everything right have fallen prey to that scourge.

When one does, I think there’s a point where ‘the rubber meets the road’, and one is probably willing to try anything.

At any rate - my best good wishes to you.
