From http://www.blochcancer.org/guide/guidesupp.htm "Be totally honest with any discussions. Never lie or state anything that is not a fact. For example, never say, "I know you are going to get well." You can't possibly know that." and "Don't give advice on new treatments and certainly don't recommend alternative therapies such as laetrile, macrobiotic diets, etc. No two cases of cancer are the same. No two people are the same. Treatments, side effects or results for one patient can be completely different for another." Not that I need pages on Internet to know what is right/wrong, thank god I have a brain myself. -- Thanks, Frank. (remove 'q' and '.invalid' when replying by email)

He doesn't have lung or liver cancer, he has colon cancer, with matastasies to liver and lungs. It's an important distinction, because the cancer's behavior is determined by the cells that originally gave rise to it. Those are the cells that have travelled and taken root, causing new tumors elsewhere. My g.f.'s granny had colon cancer with matastasies to her liver, years ago, and was given 6 months to live, assuming treatment. She preferred not to be treated, lasted three years nonetheless, and was in decent shape for most of that. My g.f. says her granny was a tough old bird who simply wasn't ready to go. She was annoyed at the doctor's death sentence, and determined to prove him wrong. She was old though--mid 80's--wearied, and passed later, when she was darn good and ready. <snip> > Give hope, but not false hope. Right. The fact is Jim's kid is in a hellua fix, however, it is also a fact that well-supported non-stressed people recover from standardized wounds 9 days faster than age-matched Alzheimer's care-givers. Fearful patients going into surgery have much higher infection rates (don't have the figures handy). Attitude makes a huge difference. My mom's seen it all -- she's been treating cancer patients nearly as long as Jim's been designing electronics. She often reports that patients who are involved in and participate in their care fare *much* better. Often, she spots them, and knows who'll do well and who won't. Patients who merely show up to be worked on, passively, like bringing their car to a mechanic, don't do as well. Patients who are distraught don't fare as well. Why? Poorly understood, of course. Scads of hard science shows fear and distress measureably and dramatically suppress immune function, while prayer, meditation, and visualization improve it. Maybe that's why. Or maybe not. But it's real. The upshot is that Jim's kid *can* improve his chances a lot simply by choosing to. Heartfelt best wishes to Jim and family, James Arthur

That's just a correlation. As I said before, maybe the fearful patients can sense that they are sicker than the more confident ones. >Attitude makes a huge difference. I don't see any basis for this conclusion in the above correlation. What's your basis for claiming causation? >Scads of hard science shows fear >and distress measureably and dramatically suppress immune function ... What's your basis for favoring this over the alternative explanation that suppressed immune function causes fear and distress? (Or that some as-yet unidentified factor causes both.) Is there really a way to do a double blind study where random patients are distressed or reassured to see how they survive surgery?
