Radiation triggers breast cancer
In today's local paper, there is a report on an European study concluding that for some cancer vulnerable women, even a small dosage, such as x-ray of chest, could trigger breast cancer. I am wondering how many of us were the victims of routine x ray procedure.
I have been a strong advocate of staying away from radiation and chemo, as much as possible. Medical profession has been too quick to order procedures that are inherently detrimental to health. There are too many cases we have seen, even in this room, that the unfortunate results were directly caused by the purposely designed procedures.
Oncs routinely put women in the chemo regimen even knowing that their PR/ER status would not favorably react to the chemo treatment. Patients are led to believe that the harder the procedure the better would be the outcome. We should know that it is not often correct.
