I'm with you Alaska Angel!

The problem with early stage breast cancer is that 3 women of 10 benefit from chemo in the current system with NCCN guidelines.

The other 7, who 6 would likely benefit more from avoiding chemo are not being identified with the current system of care.

We all would benefit from more exercise, healthier diets with more organic veggies and less saturated fats, adequate Vitamin D, and some of us with metformin.

How many of us have even been tested for Vitamin D levels and then subsequently monitored?

The are many false premises in cancer treatment that both the industry and patients hold onto - there is "finding a cure" and there is finding an "acceptable cure".
