Hi Raven, I think you have the wrong idea believing that there may never be a cure for cancer due to, basically, corporate greed. I work in a cancer hospital and half of the hospital is dedicated to research and clinical trials. We are affiliated with a university with a mission to cure and eradicate cancer which is an ongoing joke that we are trying to put ourselves out of buisness. Anyway treating only cancer does not bring on as much money as you would think. Sure the drugs and radiation cost a lot but we only get a fraction of the cost we bill for from insurance companies. We are lucky if we get 10% from insurance and being in an urban area with many medicaid patients, we only get reimbursed the cost with no sort of profit. Cancer is such a complex disease with so many variations that i beleive it will take a while but cures are coming. Some cancer stricken people have been cured by the treatments available already. Perhaps you should reconsider chemotherapy. Last year we had a patient with unresectable angiosarcoma that responded great to avastin and he is still doing well. But whatever you choose i am praying for you and miracles are possible. I just wanted to let you know that there are people striving for cures and eradication out in the world. Stay strong!

The FDA has been in bed with the drug companies for years. Cancer is a huge business. It's all about greed and poison. I honestly don't blame Ravenbeauty at all. I lost my sister to cancer and I saw this crap up close and personal. If all you keep coming up with is more sophisticated types of poison, than you are not helping anyone. Enough with the cut-burn-poison crap that has been going on for years (looked up Avastin-pure poison-and super expensive too)! There are plenty of remedies out there that are not ordained or blessed by doctors here in this country that could save lives and cost pennies per day! Many die each year from your so called treatments! You sound like a nice person, but you are the exception and not the rule.

I respectfully must admit that I don't understand this logic. In which countries are the inexpensive cures for cancer being used?

I think it's going to take a lot more research, not less, before this terrible disease is fully understood. Radiation and chemo are awful to go through--Ravenbeauty herself is suffering now because of the radiation used to treat her first bout of cancer. No wonder she is wary of it. But researchers are making progress towards a cure, and people don't go into research science for the money (my hubby is a scientist). I'm a supporter of alternative and integrative therapies too, BTW. I think people see all the suffering and dying from cancer (and cancer treatments) and then think that the Western scientific research approach is culpable. I don't think it is. Discoveries are being made but it's a long, slow process. As one example, Caltech engineer Dr. Mark Davis saw his wife suffering from terrible side effects, even deafness, from her chemo for breast cancer. Luckily, she's cancer free now, and he has been motivated to see if nanotechnology can cure breast cancer without all the suffering. His methods are now being tested in trials to see if they will work.
