Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 With some very agressive fast growing cancers, chemo may buy time and, given the nature of Cody's cancer tumors and the problems they cause, that appears to have been the case with Cody - at least compared to anything else you had used in the past. Though chemo may buy time, it always comes at a price and it never offers a long term solution - in fact, it often prevents one. The way chemo works is to try to kill off the cancer before it kills the patient, because that is what it does - kill off good cells along with the bad ones. With every continued dose of chemo, the immune system is further impaired and more damage is done to major organs. The way the body beats cancer permanently and keeps it from returning is the natural immune system. If it becomes too impaired to recover, the chances of beating cancer are much less. Ultimately most chemo patients die from damage caused by their chemo and not from their cancer. And usually, if the patient survives, the body ultimately becomes so damaged that further chemo is not possible. The same is essentially true for radiation. I have seen oleander overcome the effects of chemo many, many times - but not always. On the other hand, I have almost never seen oleander not work when there was no prior chemo or radiation. oleander soup , evian793 wrote: > > All I have to say about this is that chemo has offered us more time with our > furkid Cody even if the cancer keeps coming back.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I have to agree. The chemo seems to make it just that much harder to recover each time. They shouldn't be allowed to offer it as a "therapy" as that is so cruelly misleading. It is a cytotoxin and their maxim seems to be more is better. Same with radiation. They can shrink the tumours but do nothing to address the underlying cause. It's that old car analogy again - disconnect the oil light [the warning signal or symptom] and somehow that fixes the problem. That is why my DH no longer applies anything to keratoses as they give him an indication of his internal state of health. As they shrink, he knows he's on the right track. If he has them burned or cut, he'll have no indication, until there is a major internal malfunction. It's a really tough one, but because Ross Horne wrote in the Health Revolution that average survival time for totally untreated [allopathic or otherwise] is 3x longer than treated [allopathically alone] - 12 and 3 years respectively, we decided long ago, with all the cancer in the family, that allopathy is not an option. So far so good and we have been up against it three times, and come through it OK so far.
