To Chemo or not to Chemo

[putnam6]

Three cancer cases I know something about

1/ Respected job. made a mess fixing it up, recovered.

2/ Long term disability. The chemo and radiation took some pressure off for month or two. Came back stronger as forecast. 6 months since diagnosed.

3/ Respected job with good health care plan, Been going on years. Tough nugget.

If I got diagnosed with cancer, be drinking chlorine dioxide like coffee to start. Tough job being a good doctor with the cash flow going on.

Here's the thing if they can get to it early enough and its somewhere accessible they can make a difference. Completely anecdotal had a co-worker who had brain cancer originally stage 2 IIRC and had numerous surgeries chemo and radiation, he lived and worked for almost 9 years, and occasionally he would be all well, and then here it would pop up again. Lots of factors but it seems the success rate which has increased is still woefully low.

With my situation financially and knowing how it drained my family previously, I am pretty sure I wouldn't get treatment if it was past a certain stage.
