I was with you up until this, "A holistic approach to improving our health and well being would be preferable, at least incorporating nutrition, exercise and psychology." I'm all for being healthy, getting good sleep,and exercise, but I dont want to go back to blaming cancer on personality types, or a lack of certain vitamins. Those holistic cancer commercials on t.v. are irritating. Once you have cancer, all that holistic, clean living doesn't matter--unless I've been reading the wrong studies. I'm getting to the age where my rate of cancer goes up. If I get it, I'll get the stats of my survival rate; then decide if I want to treat it conventionally. Holistic treatments are out for myself. I used to wonder why Steve Jobs didn't run to conventional medicine the day he was told he had pancreatic cancer. After looking at the survival rates, I kinda understand why he looked for someting else. Pancreatic cancer has a low cure rate. I belive Steve Jobs was trying to invoke the placebo effect with all that eastern/holistic medicine b.s.? I do believe in the Placebo effect. I think every doctor out there would tell their patient, whatever you do--try to belive in its success rate!" I do think conventional medicine is the way to go, but believe you will get better. Don't scour the Internet. Just do the treatments, and believe you will get better. Drown out the talking heads. They don't know why we get this disease in most people, and they don't know exactly why we get better. I'm not being flipped about cancer. I'm just wondering how I will handle the diagnosis/treatment--if I get it, or anyone close to me does.
