I agree! My Great Grandmom died of BC when she was 92. She was first diagnosed at 50. I was diagnosed at 42 and if I make it to 92, I'll take it!

Working in oncology before learning the truth about how pathetic our cancer system is, it is a fact that far more women die prematurely from the TREATMENT of chemo and radiation than the cancer itself. A study just came out show that women who chose to go the conventional route, which isn't really a choice since oncologists are trained to scare the living crap out of them until they cave in, those that chose the chemo and radiation as it relates to breast cancer die an average of 4 years from day of diagnosis, where as if these women did nothing at all to treat the cancer they live an average of 12 years following diagnosis. Chemo and radiation have only been proven to be clinically effective for 4 types of cancer and breast/uterine/ovarian is not one of them. People must realize that the treatment is killing women prematurely and there is a better way. Read the Moss Reports by Dr. Ralph Moss and check out cancertutor.com. The problem with the conventional approach is that they refuse to look at the underlying cause why the cancer showed up to begin with so even if the treatment is a success, the chances of cancer returning is almost certain again. The cancer industry is big business with huge profits...and they are killing women every day. Do your homework before giving up your body to harsh and dangerous treatments that are not even proven to be of much benefit. You must make smart, informed decisions because it could be your last.

I am a 45 year old female who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002. Since then the cancer has reoccured twice leading to me having a bilateral mastectomy in 2003 and removal of residual breast tissue in 2007. With 10 lymph nodes being removed and checked in Jan. 2008 that all came back clean, it was recommened that I start I start chemo treatments and Herceptin. In Feb. I began taking Taxotere,Carboplatin, and Herceptin every 3 weeks with the Herceptin being given every week. I was sick as a dog. After 3 Chemo treatments I became very ill, developed a blood clot and a systemic infection and had to be hospitalized for 5-6 days. Since then I have opted not to take the Chemo any more but am unsure as to if I should continue the Herceptin. Thanks for your article.
