All I know and from what most Doctors seem to say is tham Chemo seldom
works.
I don't have cancer, so I haven't done any extra research for treatments
that have a higher positive probability.
I have several freind who have gone the supernutrient (phytonutrients) route
and others that went chemo.
The ones on chemo had pain and quick deathe.
When I say super nutrient I don't mean pills or solutions.
