There is hope. And then there is false hope. The truth:
Only 2-3% of cancer patients are effectively cured or partially cured by chemotherapy. 97% + do not survive 5 years.
You can also find more information on Google …
The overall contribution of curative and adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was estimated to be 2.3% in Australia and 2.1% in the USA
See here: The contribution of cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adult malignancies.
This is a subject matter where I have to disclaim and make clear I am not an expert. Not even close to it. However: Since many emails are inquisitive regarding what advice I have to either go through chemotherapy or not, I have to highlight a few studies that have helped me make up my mind. And with those same studies you may be able to make up your mind as well. You can also see a dicsussion on Research Gate and feel free to chime in with your own comment here.
Hi
I’m ONeg and have survived cancer. I won’t divulge the details here but twice over a 19 yr period I was told to book myself into a hospice because I was “dying”. I didn’t die. I recovered and have been cancer free for 10 yrs. Stress both times caused my dis-ease I feel. Are we more able to survive than the other blood types despite toxic chemo and radiation therapies?
