Teen seeks alternative to Chemo- Denied

[lizbud]

"Cancer" Is a catch all used to describe many diseases. For some, chemo is ineffective, for others it is HIGHLY effective. The reason the "alternative" treatment is not offered in the US is probably because it is impossible to prove scientifically that it works. In this case, Hodgkin's disease, it is extremely effective.

Actually Cancer comes in many different forms. Lung cancer is different in
molecular structure than say, Breast cancer.They are all different cancers
and affect different parts of the body.

I really think the boy's chances are better with the Chemo, but I think
the familes wishes should be followed.
