Unless and until you PERSONALLY have faced cancer or one of your children or your spouse has faced it and you know personally what is offered to you or to them, it is not a good idea to give controversial advice that could cause someone to consider a course of treatment that will more quickly kill them.

If nothing else, please consider the treatments given today as a means to buy time while other genetic treatment which will not be so harsh or dangerous are in the works.

Suzanne Somers may have good intentions too, but on the very serious issue of cancer diagnosis and treatment, we should consult the best oncologist our money can buy and follow their advice and leave theories and speculation to others.

Cancer is NO baby game and the treatment of it is not for lay people.

I know you mean well and many of us just love your advice on many subjects and the last thing I want to do is hurt you or set myself up as an expert on cancer which I am not, but I cannot remain silent when anecdotal information is offered to some who may be storing it and using it in a future diagnosis of cancer.

AND please read the last post on a thread and quote it before responding.
