I'll see if I can find the name of that drug in her book. She does give the names of drugs so it can be checked. I'm sure she didn't just make it up.

Over the years I have become friends with may people @ the Cancer Center.
Luckily no one has matched Dr Cuomo time line . I have lost friends over years, not days.

Well, I've had relatives who were diagnosed with cancer. One cousin only lasted about a week after being diagnosed with liver cancer. Another cousin lasted a couple of weeks after being diagnosed with liver cancer.

As for the miracle recovery. I believe the Dr needs to put down the pen and spend some time at the hospital.

Well, she did work in a hospital, diagnosing cancer and consulting with other doctors. Working with patients etc..

We do not sit there at deaths door looking for three days.
The improvement in treatment just for me, thanks to research, new meds,,,
in the short time I have diagnose has went from a timeline ( average life span )
The Dr would say terminal,to being able to maintain and treat.
Now we have the good news, a possible cure with a drug in testing now with good results.
What Dr Cuomo wants is happing now.

What I understand is that it's being treated like any other chronic disease. It's an ongoing battle. They never say the word "cure" they say "remission". My aunt went through it, from breast cancer to brain cancer and years later it was brain cancer again. The last time it was right behind her eye and couldn't be operated on. Even if it could have been operated on she wouldn't have been able to withstand it because she was being treated for kidney failure.
If it's happening now, for you, then I'm happy for you. That's great!
She did not recommend that we abandon standard cancer treatments as they exist today. She's hoping for more research on prevention. Wouldn't it be great if less people got cancer in the first place?

IMO what the Dr wants is total control of health care.
I wonder if the good doc would have sent me to the death panel ?

I don't think so. She didn't call for that in her book.
