Scientists may have found a way to kill cancer cells without chemotherapy
One of the biggest criticisms
about our current approach to treating cancer is chemotherapy. Critics
liken it to dropping a bomb on a village instead of singling out homes
of bad actors.
War metaphors are impossible to avoid when discussing
cancer, for good reason: It is an all-out assault on your body.
When I went through testicular cancer, I
was given three options: Since it had not metastasized, do nothing after
surgery and monitor; two weeks of radiation therapy (which often leads
to another cancer down the road); one round of chemotherapy, mostly as a
preventive measure. I chose the latter.
Even my oncologist knew it wasn’t an
ideal solution.
As with much of medicine, you go with what’s best until
something better is discovered. Chemotherapy is an umbrella term with
numerous dosages and drugs in the various courses.
My one round was on

battling a much more aggressive intestinal cancer. His immune system
needed serious rebuilding after that incident.
