I just wanted to say thanks to Gallen and AgentB for the wonderful posts. Those are keepers. Lots of wisdom and inspiration there. Thank you very much.
Also, to Morningstar, some have speculated that perhaps chemotherapy works simply because the patient believes it works.
I used to work in emergency medicine and spent a lot of time in hospitals (as a paramedic), I was always amazed at how arbitrary chemo and radiation were. It worked for some and not for others, and there seemed to be no rhyme or reason. Makes me wonder if the 'works because they believe it works' line of thought has merit. What do you think about it?
