Nobody is disputing the science behind the treatment as useful or beneficial in some cases though...
Just this one...let's not spin off into the stratosphere of supposition or strange comparisons. Given the circumstances what would jesus do?

I always thought chemo was more harmful than radiotherapy. My mother was extremely happy to hear she would get radiotheraphy rather than chemo when she had cancer. Then again I guess its different when its on your brain :/

Can't copy and paste
![]() This Pub-Med article may be the reason for the mothers decision? ''Post operative chemotherapy without radiation in young children with malignant non astrocytic brain tumours'' This report shows that in cases of medullblastomas radiation is not always necessary.

Vicky, children are much more prone to serious side effects from radiation due to their developing nervous systems. |

I'd be inclined to listen to the people who've studied medicine for seven years, then more post grad studies, then working in the field they specialised in. They're not in it because they want your child to die and I'd place much more trust in them than I would a homeopath or in stuff I'd Googled.

So the people who produced the report I googled are not specialists in their field?
If you wish to debate the point livia it would be easier if you directed any post responding to my comments to me. This is the link to the information if anyone is interested. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8339393

She told Daybreak that she was not adamantly opposed to giving her son radiotherapy treatment. She said: "I have been asking the whole time, 'Please show me evidence that he does need this treatment'."The only thing they can come up with is a study from the 1940s. It's just radiotherapy, this is how we do it, chemotherapy - they haven't been exploring other options." Ms Roberts said she had been contacted by medical professionals supporting her belief that there are other options to treat her son. Speaking about why she was so against her son receiving radiotherapy, she said: "Because it damages your DNA. "I feel we can still save his life. I'm incredibly confident. That's exactly why I don't just want to race into radiotherapy."

Yes Sally has a view.
But Doctors say More stay alive after radiotherapy Lifesaver, infact - 80% survive. Without it only 40% survive. Ref :Ch5News Last edited by arista; 12-12-2012 at 04:11 PM. |

No arista...
I don't care what channel 5 news say, 80% of who survive what? And I didn't say she was a doctor did I? When facts are posted try to not ignore them.

80% of who survive what though arista?
It's not important to point out it is a nonsensical statement, she has not professed to be a doctor and I haven't suggested she was either.

Nobody is disputing radiation works as a treatment for cancer arista.
How specific was the news item, What type of tumour was it, where was it, how old were the patients?... All these factors are important in the decision she made, that was backed by medical evidence and professionals.

I understand her reasons for wanting to explore an alternative cure. But i really hope she won't end up regretting it.

Quite right. Still the doctors are being made out to be some kind of Frankensteins, and still the wacky mother, who has about as much medical knowledge as most people on this thread, is being viewed like she has a point. Still haven't heard from the father, interestingly. I guess his story doesn't make such sensational reading.

That's because she does have a point.
She is in an impossible position, to label her wacky is unnecessary. Do you need a medical degree to debate an issue now?
