What Cancer Victems Need To Know by Dr. Gerry Lower
What Cancer Victems Need To Know by Dr. Gerry Lower


If you have health insurance and annual medical exams, you will likely be diagnosed with cancer at an early stage, perhaps early enough for surgical resection to offer a potential "cure". If you are among the near 50 million Americans without health insurance, you will likely be diagnosed with cancer at a later stage where chemotherapy is your only option.

There are over 120 clinically-distinct human cancers, most of which have environmental origins related to chemical mutagen exposures. Learn what is known about the causes of your cancer with the idea of providing whatever input and assistance possible. Learn about your expected survival with available approaches to therapy and, most of all, learn about your expected survival with no therapy at all.

True. My friend went into the doctors with a headache and left diagnosed with brain cancer. She went to the doctors because she could, because she was used to having health insurance. How many people without health insurance would actually see a doctor for a headache? How many of those people would just dismiss it?
