People are surviving because of chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy, or despite it / them? Each day a new study suggests that science has got something "wrong" about treatment, remedies, etc. What was considered unhealthy is healthy and vice versa. Cancer treatment in general Chemo, radiation always worried me. Seeing a person healthy, energetic suddenly fragile, helpless and dying after excrusciating "treatment" makes me wonder if the patients survive because of "or" in spite of "treatment.
If you witness a progressive cancer without treatment to stop you would not need to ask this question.
Untreated or advanced cancer is nasty, nasty business that is more horrible than chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
The tumors are solid, hard as rocks, increasingly, bodies moving, swallowing internal body cavities, pushing through the skin and continues to grow, cancer is what sucks the lives of people like it needs more blood supply and the body noursishes it. In advanced cancer, you are not talking about a tumor 2 cm or less, you're literally talking about hundreds, probably of all sizes. . some huge. An organization can be completed inside and outside, literally covered with tumors. Chemotherapy gives a person a chance to stop this kind of situation. This treatment is not easy, because it is not easy to deal diseae. And a doctor is the first to admit that they know how to kill a tumor, they do not know how to keep the patient alive while doing it.
My son had a high-dose chemotherapy, including surgery in which they have paid heated chemotherapy in his abdominal cavity. He had multiple abdominal tumors, as they needed two operations to complete removal. Chemotherapy was used to reduce the larger tumors (size volleyball) and control the smallest. Without chemotherapy, he would not have been able to undergo surgery and would not have survived the last two years. His primary tumor itself sown. . sent hundreds of malignant tumors in blood, her diaphragm was described as a "cake of the tumor, he had a malignant ascites where grains implanted in the peritoneum, he had a tumor growing inside the spleen, the tumor on the liver, tumors in the large nodules and small intestine, lung, and lymph node involvement. There was a radical change after chemotherapy. He tolerated the treatment very well and I learned to ask for medication when needed. His type of chemotherapy was given in cycles so it has 21 days to rest before another round. He had no problem with three surgical procedures and recovered quickly (7 days maximum).
The treatments were never "excruiating, they are sometimes difficult, but manageable. It took nine months of high dose chemotherapy, intra-peritoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion (heated chemo during surgery), 14 months of low-dose chemotherapy and three surgeries. Of the hundreds of tumors, it still has a (bad) that we chose not to remove at this time. He will live with him until there was no progression of the disease and to undergo an experimental treatment to see if we can control it without surgery.
It is a cancer that kills. A Mother's Journey:

People should be angry against cancer. . no treatment. . Cancer sucks big time.
they can work independently or sometimes chemotherapy and radiation are used together for more severe cases. anyway they are both effective in increasing survival
It concluded that without treatment most, if not all cancer patients who die from their cancer. Chemotherapy reason you mess up because if it is simply not the advance that we would like, because the cancer is essentially your o.
