Choice of Treatments

Ah well another famous face announces she is having a double mastectomy and her husband sitting beside her looks more scared than she does......good luck girl you are going to need it as it's not a walk in the park - I'm sure you will be at the ball drop in New York on New Year's eve without a doubt but at what cost ? Is having your own child so important that you will continue to try at all costs, is adoption that bad?
As cancer continues to gobble us up what a toll it brings - have all of us not had a friend or family member who died, was fighting, is trying to fight cancer?
Are we all predisposed to this thing now? Do u realize once u get it ,your life is spent waiting on it to comeback!
I was reading about the GERSON therapy and noticed that it clearly said you must be able to eat, drink and eliminate normally or you cannot benefit from this alternate cancer treatment. Most people wont try the therapy until chemo has knocked everything out of them then its too late. So many people over the years have fought cancer with only chemo......... if you keep burning out all your good cells what is going to happen to you...what is your quality of life going to be like? If you have chemo and keep the same lifestyle aren't the same cancerous cells going to grow back ? Isn't it better to have 6 good months than 6 years in and out of hospitals in terrible pain?
Steve Jobs tried his alternate remedies first and then was too late getting the surgery - I always believe surgery first get that thing out then make sure it doesn't grow back by using any means possible that will keep you up and about and able to fight
I always give thanks for another day above ground, but trust me I don't need to be above ground at all costs..........
