Chemotherapy is only effective in 1.4% of ALL women that get it for a 5 year survival rate. It is abusive and very ineffective. I would look for the source of the infection that caused the cancer and I would also look at your diet in regard to fatty acids and the type of oils you eat. The breast meridian goes through the teeth and is one of the most common causes of breast cancer. ANY root canals, extractions, or amalgam fillings, and crowns done by typical dentists can cause raging infections to exist. Dr. Thomas Rau, who runs the Paracelsus Clinic (cancer clinic since 1958) in Switzerland recently checked the records of the last 150 breast cancer patients treated in his clinic. He found that 147 of them (98%) had one or more root canal teeth on the same meridian as the original breast cancer tumor. His clinic has a biological dentist section where all cancer patients, on reporting in, have their mouth cleaned up first -- especially all root canal teeth removed. There are about 24 million root canals done in the U.S. alone every year. They were proven deadly disease agents in 1925 in a study by Dr. Weston Price and 60 prominent researchers. That study has been suppressed ever since by the ADA and the American Association of Endodontists (AAE). Read the book "Root Canal Cover-Up" by George Meinig, DDS, FACD for the full story. Dr. Meinig was an endodontist for 50 years. He helped found the AAE in 1943. His book is a mea culpa (apology) to the thousands of patients whose health he ruined doing root canal fillings. He discovered the Weston Price research only after he retired in 1993. His book was published first in 1994 and he has lectured widely since then trying to alert people to this danger to their health. The Weston Price conclusions (i. e. that there is no safe way to do a root canal filling) track with my experience with counseling cancer patients for the last 8 years. In 1946, the FDA and 2 drug companies got a congressional hearing on how to deal with cancer. It was decided by Congress to only accept Chemotherapy, Radiation, and Surgery as the proper way to treat cancer. This eliminated all other forms of cancer treatments, no matter how good they were. Cancer now competes with heart disease for the number one killer in America. Does that sound like what the medical people are doing is working? All the money and research has been put in the wrong places and the statistics is showing how ineffective it is. To treat the disease and not get to the root cause, infection, is ludicrous, wasteful, and just shameful. good luck to you

Discuss it with your oncologist. I was scheduled to have 6 sessions of FEC. I desperately wanted to stop after 3 sessions, as I was suffering badly from depression. My oncologist said that many cancer specialists believe that 4 sessions are sufficient and that the last two are insurance, to make extra sure. He also agreed that my depression might do me more harm than the further chemotherapy would benefit me. So we agreed that I would have my fourth session, and then no more. I expected to regret my decision, and feel fearful, but I didn't. I had stage 3 grade 3 breast cancer, and almost 5 years after diagnosis I am fit and well with no evidence of breast cancer at my last routine check-up. I'm not sure that in the same circumstances I would make the same decision again... I know more about chemotherapy now and have more confidence in it. But I also have confidence in what my oncologist told me, and he was happy that my cancer had been treated with four doses of intensive chemotherapy. It's your decision; talk it over with your oncologist. If you want to email me, please do. Good luck.

The completion of chemotherapy has been shown to be advantageous. The chemotherapy depends on many factors including stage of cancer, age and histology grade and the estrogen receptor status in the patient. In addition, one of the important factor in deciding length of chemotherapy is response to the chemotherapy and the side effects observed. Therefore, how long you need to continue and should continue can be best judged by the treating oncologist.

Hello, I would really discuss this with your oncologist first. Stopping short of the treatment recommended can affect its ability to keep your cancer in check or cure you. Every patient is proscribed therapy based upon the type of cancer that woman has. Each patient is different. Take Care, John Di Saia MD
