This is clear cut. If you have, for example,stage 4 non-hodgkin's lymphoma and arent treated very quickly with R-CHOP chemotherapy, you will die very quickly. If you are treated, the cure rate is 90%.
Taking the time to look around, going down to South America to take in the airs, travelling to India to try to yoga it away, you will die. And quickly.
There are certain very aggressive cancers like NHL that are curable with a high success rate today using, in the case of NHL, a combination of chemo and bio agents like Rituximab.
If you aren't immediately treated you will die.
Convincing someone with one of these diseases to avoid "western"
medicine because they are lying and seek alternative treatment is essentially participating in assisted suicide.
- sgt101 7y agoIt's interesting - I wonder if the advances in treatment have precipitated this position. My instinctive attitude/response to cancer is that it's a death sentance, and I guess that makes me, and my generation, an probably a lot of the population suceptable to the grift of these hucksters. Perhaps the right thing to do is to change the classification of diseases like NHL that can now be treated - perhaps they should just stop being "cancer".
