Ooohoo! What a nightmare! My sister died from cancer and it was not nice. Good write though. God Bless and I hope this isn't about you or anyone you know. JB

For sure. Kick cancer down the street, over the cliff, into the abyss…and don’t you come back will be the echo…

Of course no immunotherapy was introduced…just stick to the plan and kill the patient…oh and collect the money. A sad business! Thanks, Tom

This is sadly what happened to my mother also. 11 Chemo treatments later....

But they got their money. What if they had to cure the patient first..ah ah…that’s an idea. Thanks, Caren!
