[cancercured] Re: Help me convince against chemotherapy

Linda: I was diagnosed with carcinomasarcoma a mixed tumor of the salivary gland that metastised to the lungs stage 4. I was given up on by the Dr's at the University of Chicago and they said go enjoy your life "chemo will not work for that type of cancer". I then turned to alternative medicine to fight my condition which didn't work at all. I then went to the Cancer Treatments Centers of America in Zion IL and they recommended chemo for me. I was told by them the chances of it working were about 20% maybe 40% for me because I 'm young and in great shape being a state amateur bodybuilder. Well, guess what, chemo has so far shrunk the tumors in my lymph nodes and lungs big time with no metastasis to any other organs. I'm not going to say I'm going to be cured but at least I don't have tumors sticking out of my neck looking like the elephant man. My neck is real soft now you cant feel any hard lymph nodes except 1 that is real small barely can feel it. I do alternative
medicine such as the Vibe machine, herbs, vitamins in conjuncion with chemo and I personally think that's the best thing for me and my type of cancer. Every cancer should be looked at uniquely and treated differently. I own a Rife machine and it didn't work at all. The Rife machine in my opinion is a hoax. Everybody ramped and raved about it and said positive stuff. I hate to say it it's total Bull. I researched alternative cancer treatments with people all over the U.S.A. and found out that most people are just trying to sell some product and don't have a clue about cancer. I personally feel chemo for me was the right choice. God Bless and good luck with your decisions.

While it's my personal experience that those who choose chemo are simply not very open to alternatives, check out www.cancerdecisions.com. If I recall correctly, there are several studies reviewed there, from Australia, Germany, and Italy, which evaluated the effects of chemo over time, with large databases. All the studies I remember showed zero or negligible increase in life span using chemo. Additionally, Ralph Moss has reports of what works and what doesn't for various cancer types. He also will generate personal reports tailored to the needs of the person. Ralph started out working for Memorial Sloan Kettering (not as an MD, but as a publicist, I think), and saw how promising alternative research was buried if it threatened the standard chemo/radiation/surgery. He was fired when he publicized results anyway.

He's not particularly "anti" chemo. He evaluates research work of all types, and advises which forms of treatment are successful for which types of cancer, without regard to "standard" or "alternative" labels.
