Can we please stop with these idiotic my sister had chemo and then got alzheimers type lies?

There is no connection or there probably wasn't between them getting chemo and getting alzheimers. Just a coincidence they were diagnosed at that time.

Millions of people go through chemo every year and are alive because of it.

My brother died 2 days after going to a Cubs game. Does that mean going to the game killed him? No.

Why do you think they are lies?

Two possibilities: coincidence and causal.

The causal version is simple: there is a possiblity that severe stress can precipitate symptoms. Enough anecdotes and someone may research the possibility. Sort of like the anecdotes that an antibiotic course alleviated ulcer symptoms.
