Chemo is overrated for most cancers. Check out this study on pubmed: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15630849/. This 14-year study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in December 2004 called “The Contribution of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy to 5-year Survival in Adult Malignancies”. Study Results:
“The overall contribution of curative and adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults was estimated to be 2.3% in Australia and 2.1 % in The USA” Study Conclusion:
“As the 5-year survival rate in Australia is now over 60%, it is clear that cytotoxic chemotherapy only makes a minor contribution to cancer survival.  To justify the continued funding and availability of drugs used in cytotoxic chemotherapy, a rigorous evaluation of the cost-effectiveness and impact on quality of life is urgently required.” Rather than rely solely on the “gold standard” of cancer treatment as promoted by big Pharma, there are other approaches that are being done successfully around the world. Along with Chris Wark’s book and approach to cancer and “The Truth About Cancer” mentioned by others, I recommend “Radical Remission” by Kelly Turner, a researcher who studied those who successfully beat cancer. Also “The Metabolic Approach to Cancer” by Dr. Nasha Winters. Also, “Malignant” by Dr. Vinay Presad. Very informative book on cancer research and the shameful approval of cancer drugs by the FDA that end up being ineffective and expensive but get approved anyway.
