The Oncologist

Today I'll be taking half-day (PM) as today is a very important day. It's mak's first visit to the Breast Care Clinic (BCC) at UH and meet the Oncologist.

After reading dozens of infos on chemotherapy, radiotherapy and Tamoxifen (hormon) treatment for breast cancer, I just can't wait for this day to come. I want to see the face of the person whose profession is strongly uphold the benefit of using the orthodox ways to treat cancer : chemotherapy & radiotherapy and Tamoxifen &co.

Read here and here to get some ideas about cancer treatment. If you care.


Anyway, here is an interesting survey.

The Oncologists Credo: Do as I Say, Not as I Do.

In the new issue of Nature Medicine, it was mentioned that over 400,000 people in the U.S. alone are treated with chemotherapy every year. Yet, in a famous survey of 64 oncologists at the McGill Cancer Center in Montreal, 58 of them—more than 90%—said that if they or their family members had cancer, there was no chemotherapy program that they would undergo. They said that all chemotherapy programs are ineffective and have an unacceptable level of toxicity.

Wish us luck.
