I believe, having been through Cancer surgeries and Treatments for YEARS and surgeries on Throat, Tongue, Esophagus, Lymph-Nodes that 30 years from now they will look BACK on all this (Radiation, Drugs, Chemotherapy and more...) and say, 'THEY WERE BARBARIC'. We haven]'t a clue what we are doing in Medicine art this Level nor do we even Understand THE BRAIN and never will. Not in its entirety as it is too complex. Beyond a Computer. I believe the Treatments kill us faster than the cancer or tumor would. I know men personally, who are doctors, professionals, pharmacists and they were told to do Treatments or the possibility of death and recurrence of primary cancer would return was AT SOME HIGH PERCENTAGE RATE LIKE 37%. WTH? How d o they arrive at these "Fake Numbers?" Pull them from the sky. My God people. Yes, Barbaric! All of them I am speaking of (I am NOT speaking for anyone or suggesting you don't follow your doctors advice. "I am Not" by the way, . As of this week I have had it. $10, 000 per day to Hospitals, Doctors, Nurses, supplies, machines, pet/ct scans, MRI constantly (that alone probably caused Cancer in me and caused tumors. MRI's I have ad at least 12. That is TOO MUCH. Pet/CT #7. Combine all this RADIATION and so-called Treatments and yes, I believe it is killing me. Slowly but, surely. Ripping years from my life and destroying parts of me. Salva glands. Destroyed. On and on...I will not scare anyone and I suggest YOU LISTEN TP YOUR DOCTOR but, ask the TOUGH QUESTIONS & ALWAYS ALWAYS SEEK A "SECOND OPINION" AWAY FROM THE GROUP YOU'RE WITH ENTIRELY. THEY KNOW EACH OTHER. Go out of the city you're in and find a great doctor for 'second opinion' and I guarantee you he'll say. something totally different!!! Fact. 10 doctors. 20 different opinions about EXACT SAME CANCER. In 2050 they will call us BARBARIC. Oh, by the way, the Pharmacist with Liver Cancer is STIULL ALIVE 3 years later. No Treatments. The doctor, 9 years more in life after refusing Lymph node/lymphvascular treatments. They were extremely small the #2 microscopic nodes found 'positive'. He was on a cruise last month. True story. Can he get Cancer again and the SOURCE of the cancer come back? YES! However, I personally will take that risk over TOXINS, BURNING. LOSING SALIVA GLANDS. UNABLE TO SWALLOW OR USE TONGUE FOR MONTHS. BREATHNG PROBLEMS AND PANIC. F*** THAT! BARBARIC! Good luck and GET THAT SECOND OPINION. Be careful with what RISKS you take. It is YOUR LIFE. YOUR CHOICES. The Patient always has a CHOICE. That is ALL I needed to hear! Thank you jf, US Army Veteran, Sgt. NATO COMMAND. Reporting to General Alexander M Haig. *(Soldiers soldier) Former Food-Corporate Executive.
