Cancer Cures (yeah right)

Hi Debbie

I did chemo etc as I was told by my breast surgeon that all of his patients who went down the alternative treatment path are dead. I have met people who have left conventional treatment to go down the alternative route and they have come back to conventional treatment worse off than they were before. I don't know whether the medical professional lies to us or not. Who knows if the treatment works or not? I just figure that you can only make an educated decision on the information that you have. I too have been told you should do this or you should do that! I've also been told that I got cancer because I drink coke zero, I don't exercise enough , I eat too much sugar, I stress to much etc etc. the fact is, cancer is a disease. It doesn't matter if you look after yourself perfectly or not. Yes there are things that you can do to reduce your risks but the fact is if you are going to get it, you're going to get it. I don't smoke, drink alcohol, I breast fed my children etc etc. I feel that everyone has to make a decision on their treatment for themselves. There are no guarantees when it comes to cancer and cancer treatments. We all hope that what we do is beat this is going to beat this. I reckon just do the best you can do and live each day to the best that you can.  I choose to ignore all of the armchair experts.
