Medical Forum / General / Alternative / January 2008Mother who has stopped her son's cancer treatment: He's suffered too much already
http://ilenarose.blogspot.com Health Lover http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/healthmain.html?in_article _id=506666&in_page_id=1774&ico=Homepage&icl=TabModule&icc=picbox&ct=5 Excerpts: "So many times he's trusted us when we've told him that yet another horrible treatment or operation will do him good. And time and again he's been left no better off or even worse. It breaks my heart." Chemotherapy has damaged his hearing - a recognised side-effect - and he has to wear hearing aids. As sad as this is, modern treatment for childhood cancer saves many lives: Approximately 75% of all kids cancer are cured. This an example of how medical science advances. By getting the kids into studies, oncologists have been to learn which treatments work, which ones don't, and have made some great strides in decreasing the side effects of chemotherapy and other treatments.

Surgery is the mainstay, but chemo and XRT are also quite effective. >http://ilenarose.blogspot.com >Health Lover [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >Chemotherapy has damaged his hearing - a recognised side-effect - and >he has to wear hearing aids. So she's going to let him die. That's a good mother.
