המשך ללו"ז האונקולוגי…

הבאתי כאן את המקור האנגלי.
אין צל של ספק שהאונקרולוגים מהמרים ובהצלחה.
הם מהמרים על המערכת החיסונית. לא שלהם. אלא על של חולי הסרטן.
הם מועכים, מרטשים, הורסים, קוטלים בכל מרכיבי מערכת זו, מערכת המבדילה בין חיים למוות.

תהנו מהכתיבה של הבחור האמריקאי, ד"ר Dr Tim O’Shea
וזו רק הפתיחה של מכתבו.
גם הוא לא מאוהבי האונקולוגים. הוא ואני אוהבים אנשים מאריכי חיים, ולא מעריכי חיים על פי האורך הסטטיסטי של מטופלים אומללים, שטופלו על ידם ומותם עבר עיבוד סטטיסטי..

When singer Warren Zevon was diagnosed with lung cancer, doctors gave him three months to live. He refused chemotherapy because it would have interfered with working on his last album. He said in an interview, “I didn’t want any drastic alterations in my health – other than dying.”

Warren lasted a year. And he kept right on smoking, till the end. Not exactly a holistic approach, but he quadrupled their estimate without treatment. Using their logic, I guess someone could actually make a case from this that cigarettes are four times as effective as chemotherapy for terminal lung cancer.

Perhaps you too have finally said – No more – whatever happens will happen. You’ve refused further standard cancer treatment because you’ve found out either through research or through personal experience, that for the vast majority of cancer cases, it just doesn’t work. People’s last months are made miserable with no upside.

So there you are, without a net. Guess what? There never was one. So forget the politics of hospitals and insurance. You may feel that they ran their game on you and the required funds were transferred from one account to another in some data base somewhere, and here you are sitting at home looking out the window.

A good warrior must always assess his present position, evaluate his losses and assets, and move forward. So what have you got? Well, you’re alive. Maybe they predicted that you wouldn’t make it this long or else you’ve got X amount of time to live. Who cares? What do they know? You’re no longer on their agenda, so now your calendar’s wide open. You refuse to die on schedule.

What else have you got? Well, you still have some kind of immune system left, or else you’d be dead.
