of course waiting till the patient is 99% dead before they get their treatments prolly has nothing to do with it...

Chemotherapy warning as hundreds die from cancer-fighting drugs (cancer drugs may kill up to 50 % patients)

Patients should be warned about the dangers of chemotherapy after research showed that cancer drugs are killing up to 50 per cent of patients in some hospitals.
For the first time researchers looked at the numbers of cancer patients who died within 30 days of starting chemotherapy, which indicates that the medication is the cause of death, rather than the cancer.
In Milton Keynes the death rate for lung cancer treatment was 50.9 per cent, although it was based on a very small number of patients.
Deaths of lung cancer patients from chemotherapy were also far higher than the national average in Blackpool, Coventry, Derby, South Tyneside and Surrey and Sussex, according to the research.
Similarly, around one in five people who underwent palliative care for breast cancer at Cambridge University Hospitals died from their treatment.
Public Health England (PHE), said it had contacted the hospitals concerned to ask them to review practices.
More than 1,300 breast and lung cancer patients died because of chemotherapy in 2014, the study shows Chemotherapy is toxic for the body because it does not discriminate between healthy and cancerous cells.
They advised doctors to be more careful in selecting patients for treatment where it could do more harm than good.
“I think it’s important to make patients aware that there are potentially life threatening downsides to chemotherapy. And doctors should be more careful about who they treat with chemotherapy.”
Professor David Cameron, Edinburgh Cancer Centre, Western General Hospital, added: “The concern is that some of the patients dying within 30 days of being given chemo probably shouldn’t have been given the chemo.
The research was published in The Lancet Oncology.

When obamacare kicked in, we started hearing that women don’t really need so many mammograms, colonoscopies are overrated, and early diagnosis has no beneficial effect on lung cancer patients. Same lies. Same reason.

More than chemo drugs are poisons. Many drugs are poisons. It depends on the dosage.
My doctor did chemo. He’s still teaching 10 years later.
L
That was my 1st thought too!!!
yes indeed agreed
My wife’s good friend was having back pain, she was “diagnosed” with cancer of the spine. She was put on chemo and died two weeks later. An autopsy was performed and it was found that she didn’t have cancer at all. Some silicone had leaked from her breast implants and settled near her spine. It most likely had nothing to do with her back pain, but caused her x-rays to look like cancer had metastasized to her spine. Apparently some of her blood work came back with unusual results as well, but there was no cancer found in her body. The chemo was determined to have killed her.
ultimately you have the decision to either take no treatment, and probably die a painful miserable death OR try a treatment, which may still give you a painful miserable death but also the chance to actually LIVE....
“I don’t think they know how to properly administer the drugs. They seem to still be in the trial and error phase.”
Hav you considered that they DO know how to administer them and that this is the desired outcome? Chemo is comparatively cheap compared to new exotic treatments.
Perhaps they gave him a minimal dose due to his age.
I’m so happy for you and your wife. It gives hope to a lot of others on this site. Spread the word.
not all of them.... trust me, not all of them.
When the chemo was all said and done and I finally started feeling better my oncologist said.....well, would you do it again? I told him he tried to kill me but it didn’t work. Lol. That was 7 years ago and I’m still clean.
Congrats to you!
I am glad for you and your family but Chemo definitely killed my mother. She was beating her Hodgkin’s lymphoma and feeling great but the doctors made her continue treatments (money) . She had a reaction to the chemo, lungs filled with crap from the reaction, next day dead.
It was an autologous stem cell transplant. They give her chemo (taxol) in gallon jugs. I'd say it was different; it was chemo on steroids.
Rense.com says cancer is caused by dairy and meat.
Perhaps minimizing it’s influence could help.
And smoking. And drinking. And asbestos. And working in chemical plants. And sunshine. And....
My wife went through all of that, and is now 100% cancer free. She might choose death rather than go through that treatment again; but, she is grateful to be alive. I would be lost without her.
My wife went through it, and is now 100% cancer free. She is not sure she would choose to repeat the process it needed. I’m really happy to be around. She was given less that a year without the treatment. The math is simple, really.
Well I don’t smoke, don’t drink, no asbestos or chem plants. Now if that last one sunshine, if that kills me then I will be pissed off.
Seriously, people must realize that you have a lot of control over prevention. Prevention is key.
I had a pain from a virus infection awhile back. One at a time I isolated sources. Sugar drinks, aspartame or HFCS corn syrup. SOLVED.
Other people would be getting cut up at a hospital by now.
When direct evidence finds the cause, it is just WOW.
God and Prevention.
