Spent hundreds of hours in chemo and leuk wards. Chemo is a nightmare and a savior.

My mother was an OR nurse for 40 years and knew all the ins and outs of western medicine and alternative treatments. Tried both and as in most cases cancer prevails.

We will look back 20 or 30 years from now and I'm sure consider chemo barbaric.

Hope they figure out alternative methods soon.

This best and most thorough documentary I have ever seen on cancer. Looks like they are heading in right direction.
