I'm not afraid of cancer, I'm afraid of the treatments

Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
I have to say, the more i research cancer treatment and cancer care i'm shocked that there isn't a universal standard by which everybody in the western hemisphere at least is measured; treated and and responded to.

One report i read recently suggested you had a 20%+ advantage if you were treated in the U.S rather than the U.K.
Yet on further research of that report, it seems it's as big a lottery depending on which cancer centre you get treated at in America since their results for care and survival vary just as dramatically !

Doctors are reluctant to post their survival rates and there's no law requiring them to do so.
Suppose you get referred to one site and are treated yet collect more 'collateral damage' from treatment than you would at another ???

Lots of questions around why and how so many in this and the last generation have contracted cancer too.
Is that down to heredity; lifestyle; genes; or just a sign of mans evolution ?
why is it that certain cancers have a far greater fail rate than others ?
Is that down to mass screening ? As is thought to be the case with breast cancer.
If we could do it for that, why aren't men called in for prostate checks with the same regularity as women for breast exams ?

not all cancer is treatable
and the stage it is in and type are factors
but we will just pray you don't get it

out of 4 members of my family to get it
only 1 has beat it ,,and he wouldn't have had not an agency been willing to help with the Co=Pays they demand

Praying you never know

I have things going on that make me think I might. My bf died of lung cancer 5 years ago and I've been researching about chemo and paying attention to people's stories enough now to know only a few survive it. Some die of the treatments before the cancer has a chance to. Because it's POISON. they poison you.. who wants that?

@Motleycrue667 my best friend went through all the treatment ,threw a blood clot and that killed him not the cancer
my son in law had it bad in his throat and tongue ,but he beat it
but had an agency not helped with the Co Pays ,500 a day ,,he would not have made it
I know women who have beat breast cancer and ovarian cancer ,but I know some who would not go to the doctor until it was to late
Early detection is the key
I know a man who used to treat cancer naturally ,the FDA got after him and he has been in hiding now for years ,He had people go into total remission in 21 days ,,
So you can imagine why drug companies and doctors millions of dollars in debt for machines do not want his way known
A friend of mine did get one of his books and got 5 more years
but he was unable to go into the program ,,the doctor just disappeared

Yeah it definitely is. If you try to bring awareness about it, people get pissed!!

They say the treatment is worse than the disease.
