Chemotherapy sucks, but it works and is scientifically sound.

Works short term but wrecks your immune system long term, which means you will get sick from something else and no one can be blamed. Have you actually seen someone on chemo? Scientifically sound is not the first thing that comes into my mind. There's even a decent amount of objective research out there these days showing exactly this so there are really no excuses for clinging to these delusions any more.

I have. Chemo is horrible. It really wrecks a person. But you know who looks even worse? Someone who died of untreated cancer.

The same as someone who died from a second round of untreatable cancer after having their system wrecked?

Look, I get it; cancer is no fun. But when the cure is worse than the disease, it doesn't make sense any more.

Except if you profit from disease and suffering, I guess.
