I don’t think there is any one cause nor is there any one type of cancer. It can be genetic, it can be environmental. Sometimes chemo works, sometimes radiation works, sometimes immunotherapy. It depends on the person and the cause. No one type of treatment will fit all.

Mrs. henkster was lucky; the doctors hit upon a course of treatment, still considered experimental, that the insurance company bought into...and saved her life.

I still remember the one night after she and the boys had gone to bed, and I sat up thinking about the meeting we’d had with her doctors that day. They had already gone through a round of surgeries and were starting chemo, and they were discussing the possibility of the autologous stem cell transplant. In my profession I’ve had to gain skill on reading people, and as I went over our consultation in my mind, I realized...

...they don’t think she’s gonna make it.

And that’s when I really got scared. One of the worst nights of my life.

I’ve never shared this with my wife.

YES ... THERE ... IS

A book called Stopping Cancer, I had the fortune to read at a young age. I then read many others, and the information points in the same direction.

The Stopping Cancer book was from a National cancer prevention organization. They took hundreds of Doctors & experts, over hundreds of studies. That was good enough for me.

The prevention begins with fruits and veggies and not abusing oneself. It is NOT B.S., as those are often touted. It has been majorly studied, successfully.

My sibling died recently. Early on, I read about smoking and drinking. My brother rarely read. I am alive. He is not. Tackle the obvious stuff first.
