Trading while undergoing chemotherapy

Gambit said:
Always remember the story of Steve Jobs. He died at 52 in part because he refused conventional care. Pancreatic cancer is often untreatable so we don't know what may have happened in case he did undergo chemotherapy. But the odds may have been in his favor.

I totally agree....and of course, a guy like Jobs, with his success...."knew everything".
That was his undoing.
I listen to my doctors...and then confirm their recommendations.
Jobs just blew them off.

The case of Jobs is tragic even if he had a reputation of being "difficult". My doctors bought me at a minimum 5 years, and if the studies are correct at least 20 to 25 years. I'm incredibly thankful. That isn't to say mistakes don't happen. I was misdiagnosed for close to two years and I paid cash to some highly reputable doctors in Florida. If one sharp doc didn't catch my low hemoglobin and insist on a colonoscopy, I would have been gone in 3 years. I'm incredibly grateful for a second chance at life.

Trust and verify. And check the reviews on docs (not on the hospital website :) ). They do matter.

Cancer has been around for at least thousands of years.

The Ancient Roman historian Tacitus described in the 1st Century AD what's now universally recognised as acute leukemia ("it was discovered after they died that all their blood had turned almost white"), and there are also earlier descriptions than that, from other societies/cultures, which appear to describe other types of cancer.

I never read the book, "The Emperor of Maladies." but he posits that cancer rates are the same today as it was thousands of years ago. Detection and diagnosis has gotten better.

For sure.

And overall treatment outcomes for some/many types of cancer steadily improve, decade by decade.

(It's almost breathtaking that there are apparently still so many people around who imagine that cancer is some kind of "modern disease" caused primarily by pollution and environmental factors

. But there you go: many people tend only to examine evidence that they want to examine.)

Sorry to heard that. I think you should drink green tea like this lady in England. She had advance stage of cancer. But after she started drink a lot of green tea, her tumor had disappeared.

Studies show tea especially green tea inhabits tumor from growing and protect DNA from mutations among other anti-cancer properties.

Drinking green tea. Apparently colon cancer responds better to coffee, 4 cups a day.
