Re: Judge orders Chemo for boy

[Guest guest]

Chemo Therapy from what I have read only has a 3% cure rate. In my case it was

not worth the damage done to my body.

Just my two cents,

Sad situation.. when does the parent have the right to do what they feel best

for their child. From what I understand Hodgkin's lymphoma

has a 90% five year cure rate 40% lifetime cure rate..

Here is the link..

--- With lymphoma I understand its much higher, but agree chemo with the

majority of cancers is very low around 3% Remember they use the misleading five

year cure rule.. Only two more years to go and I am cured!!! I can't wait..

all the best,

Cure rates differ widely in regards to chemo. The 3% figure is, I believe,

across all cancers. I believe that leukemia and testicular cancer respond well

to chemo, and the rest generally do not. However, I might be wrong about the

leukemia -- it might be lymphoma. Not sure on this one.
