Nothing cutting edge or new here. Still using the same therapies that were developed almost a century ago. Chemo and radiation do not kill cancer stem cells. They can shrink a tumor, but those pesky stem cells always seem to make a comeback. No addressing anything other than cutting, chemicals and radiation. It's ALL palliative treatment unless you find the reason WHY your body got cancer, and correct it. The body is self healing and self regulating….if given the right building blocks and you also take away the poisons you are breathing, touching and ingesting on a daily basis. Good luck if you're on this path because it's a scary one for the consumer of medical services today, lots of chemo pressure out there. There's a chart on the Internet of actual 5 year survival rates you can do a google images search for. I was told chemo would up my survival by 15% by my doctor when the actual rate was 1%. SIDEBAR: If the oncologist has a monetary interest in the chemo that is being administered BE VERY CAREFUL in your decision making.

This is a terrifying lecture: And medical language doesn't help – there is no cure – like sawing in the Civil War. I'd rather ask and pay for the death sentence drugs. I'll pay twice the cost – but at my location ok? I was just interested in the subject, now I feel my loss of diet is cancer, my chills on occasion is cancer, my 59 years old cancer's coming. His definition of clinical results is horror. What is the Holy Grail on all this? Treatment? Fancy word for delayed painful death. Lawyers are bad students especially retired.
