Re: Gleevec and Skin-Gleevec is NOT Chemo

[Guest guest]

Well,not to ruffle your feathers-okay maybe just a bit;

Gleevec is chemo and I don't know how you think it is not.

Chemotherapy def'n: the treatment of cancer using chemical agents or

drugs that are destructive to malignant(cancerous)cells or tissue.

Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Hey

If it walks like a chicken and looks like a chicken it must be

one. .. In other words anything that kills cancer cells on a daily

basis is a chemo friend of mine.

I am also big on (sun based) Vit D for people like myself. I had a

dark complexion which is now normal (not white) and I intend to get

10 or so minutes of sun daily this spring and summer in off peak

hours to keep my vitamin D and spirits up. I never get red in the sun

since I am careful when I get out there. This will be my sixth summer

of enjoying the sun before 10 and after 4. if I venture out in

between I use the sunblock.
