Chemo conundrum article

Well chemo sux big time, but I am alive because of it.  Sometimes we get people on here saying that chemo gives them an extra few percent chance of the cancer not recurring - and I don't comment,  to me it would need to be a lot higher %.  But then a lot of people get through chemo with very few problems.   Then you get the people who chemo hasn't worked or not worked well, and others that it has worked fantastically.   We have people whose cancer has returned far too quickly after treatment, and sometimes those people after further treatment go for years without reoccurrence.  Then we have people whose cancer has returned after years of being cancer free.  And then some who never get cancer again!!!   I feel for the medico's etc, research takes time (how else do they get the 5 - 10 yr figures) and with all the new drugs available it must be very hard for them.  At least they are questioning treatments and changing if need be.  Its a pity that this type of debate didn't occur with antibiotics - what about 40 yrs ago (showing my age) when people even then were questioning the overuse of these drugs.   So as many have said on this forum, go with your gut ladies.
