An old friend and neighbor in Cincinnati who had been diagnosed with breast cancer the year before I was diagnosed with breast cancer had opted to fly to one of the states bordering Mexico and have treatments there from a much touted alternative medicine doctor. She came to me trying to convince me to do the same; Telling me that chemo is poison and that people really knew how to cure cancer but they were keeping it secret because it was such a money maker for "big pharma". She looked great and I was struggling with a new diagnosis and I was scared to death. My husband was so worried and sad as well, not to mention the kids.


I went to the highest recommended oncologist I could find in Cincinnati, Ohio. I had surgery, radiation and chemo. Ten years ago. I will always be grateful to the doctors who treated me and daughter Helene for breast cancer successfully. I know that it could have turned out differently.

Our neighbor friend died.
