I don't try crazy diets or anything else I do the same as I have always done, my doc recommended this for me, after she fixed my leg , she said it would stop the tumour eating right through my femur, and it has, also got rid of a few, I am so sorry it didn't work for your mum, but we all need to be able to have hope and some of the newly diagnosed have been terribly upset to the point of thinking that any treatment is pointless, I know that wasn't your intention but some people take a long time to come to terms and some need constant reassurance. Nothing is perfect, and the public dollar will only stretch so far, I get that they spend more money trying to stop this before it gets to people like me and maybe they could spend more money on mbc, but that can also be said about a lot of cancers, like pancreatic, my close friend died from that as well. I am sure they take what they think is the best course and spend their dollars where they think it will do the most good and that for every new treatment there are hundreds that went nowhere. Cancer has always been with us, it's not a new disease and we can all sit back and say this causes it or they should do it this way, but who is to say what is the right way.
