I spoke with my friend, Michelle Cecil, yesterday. Her sister was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. After chemo and radiation and one remission, the cancer reappeared and she was told her only option was paliative care. With that in mind, she went on a 6-week trip to Europe, running up her credit cards with a 'who cares' attitude. 15 years later, she is alive, well and cancer-free, although she had a heck of a time paying off her credit card bills! The doctor's have no explanation.
Michelle and her family have done a lot of research into cancer and its treatments. Michelle mentioned to me theories that cancer may be in all of us, many times without us ever knowing about it, and that people have spontaneous remission more than is currently believed because the cancer was never diagnosed.
I found a website that discusses this theory, and the benefits of diet, immunology and having a good attitude in treating cancer. It also references numerous texts. Maybe some of the medical folks could take a look and tell us what they think. I think it offers Chuck a more systematic way of trying to beat this, assuming there's something left to beat, than just doing nothing. The link is
