I think I have to agree with you. I don't know anyone that's ever been "cured" by chemo and radiation. In fact, their quality of life generally plummets. I watched my Mom go through it for almost five years. Her cancer went into remission, but then came back with a vengeance. But she also never sought out additional opinions - she just went with what her doctor told her, and she couldn't be convinced otherwise. Another thing I don't agree with is operating on cancer patients. Maybe it works sometimes, but more often it seems like the cancer explodes once oxygen comes in contact with the tumors. That happened to my uncle.

I really want to read Suzanne Somers' book about how she treated her breast cancer with alternative methods. This new-fangled medical treatment is nothing but smoke and mirrors geared toward making money, not saving lives. I'm glad you're studying the alternatives. :)
