mother's corpse Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Patients should be warned about the dangers of chemotherapy after research showed that cancer drugs are killing up to 50 per cent of patients in some hospitals.For the first time researchers looked at the numbers of cancer patients who died within 30 days of starting chemotherapy, which indicates that the medication is the cause of death, rather than the cancer.The study by Public Health England andCancer Research UK found that across England around 8.4 per cent of patients with lung cancer, and 2.4 per cent of breast cancer patients died within a month.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/08/30/chemotherapy-warning-as-hundreds-die-from-cancer-fighting-drugs/Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mother's corpse Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 People need to stop being ignorant, calling people who aren't blindly following corporations because they seem to have some power nut jobs!, they kill you, your family and kids without giving a dam all to make money.

Patients ARE warned. Very clear statistics are presented about survival rates with specific cancer therapies, such as surgery, chemo and radiation. In my case with colon cancer they went snip-snip and took out half my insides. After the surgery my doctor went over the percentages that chemo would add to the likelihood cancer would not return, and also the percentages that chemo could contribute to my death. Chemo had had about a 2% chance of helping me after surgery, and I opted not to do that, thinking the surgery got it all. That was 5 years ago. I had my colonoscopy two weeks ago and the cancer had not returned. But I ASSURE you, they have very good numbers which are shared with the patients. Cancer treatment has come a long way in the last ten years, and they have a lot of this figured out. The doctor gave me information and after that I made my own decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my second one this past January--all is well and the doc said I’m good for 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hey my love of the Brits was a jackpot post 7777. Should be more; but, my post count took a hit a while back when i was under forum oppression. suddenly my post count reduced by about a thousand or so. A vast right wing conspiracy most likely.

BigStewMan Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 the night before is far worse than the examination (as you well know). My first time, the doc gave me pills to take with water--that’s all. He retired and the young lady that took over his practice uses some absolutely horrible tasting drink. we’re a fairly smart people, for the life of me, i can’t figure out why something has to taste so bad.
