primarily because we have been conditioned to believe that
removing the tumor removes the cancer with the added risk that some
cells may remain behind thus the justification for chemotherapy. The
evidence, however, clearly does not support that idea and many
oncologists are backing away from post operative chemo due to a more
inquisitive patient base and the ease of which controversial studies
are falling into the hands of the consumer due to the internet.
Patients are beginning to question everything as they should.
Doctor Bell, way back in 1913 made some brilliant observations about
the characteristics he found in common with cancer and its re-
emergence after surgery. The American cancer doctor Eli G. Jones went
so far as to say that the surgical extirpation of a malignant tumor
constituted a criminal assault upon the patient and he railed at whom
he considered unethical physicians who recommended a surgical
solution. It was common knowledge that surgery only caused the tumors
to return and when they did so, usually with a vengeance.
One chapter in his book was especially disturbing in the male
attitude depicted at a medical convention he attended where it became
starkley obvious that far too many doctors had a cavalier attitude towards women.
