Suzanne Somers has changed her diagnosis

How is Suzanne these days?

She is full of sh*t! She's just trying to make $. What an a-hole!

Somers is a natural born sales woman; exercise equipment, facemaster, cosmetics,  foods, clothes, jewelry..you name it. Let her have at it.  But.. she should never be pushing literature with misinformation at the expense of others.

To keep Knock Out interesting she starts off with pure fiction.  Her whole body cancer might might make for a good drama and to set up the rest of the book.  The naive non-cancer patient wouldn't be savvy enough to know better. She notes 3 cancers chemo helps with no mention of breast cancer. 

What a crock...

Neoadjuvant chemo kicked my aggressive triple negative breast mass into oblivion leaving nothing but dead tissue.  Yes, I believe in complimentary therapy as well.  My highly published researcher/oncologist at one of the well-respected research hospitals is on a mission for a cure.  I don't doubt that for a minute.. and there's plenty more out there in the labs like her.  She also believes in additional therapies beyond chemo, surgery and rads.  (SS's "poison, butcher & burn.") They conduct trials on these frequently.  They also use reiki in surgery and are proponents for acupuncture therapy to help manage pain and other issues. 

The only restriction during chemo was antioxidants by pill form which can interfere with the efficacy of therapy.

SS can make plenty of dough on peddling her other crap.  Literature should NOT be on her sales list.   Good she has no conscience and can sleep well at night.

chemo may buy you a little time, but not without multiple side effects, which include secondary cancers! It’s hard to believe that with all the money and research that has gone into cancer research, that chemo is all we have in this 21st century! Ms. Somers had no node involvement with her breast cancer, luckily for her, she refused chemo, because back then, chemo was always recommended for her type of cancer. There is nothing wrong with suggesting that diet and exercise can improve your chances of reoccurrence, but like chemo, there are no guarantees! Chemo is not the “cure all”by any means, where it has helped some, it has also proven to be non effective for lots of people, those of whom you will never hear about.-I sit in the chair every week, questioning why I’m there, as I witness many who are having their 2nd and 3rd treatments fighting secondary cancers, most likely caused by chemo itself!, but your lovely oncologists will never confess this to you, “they are trained well!” As I am sure chemo kills cancer cells, chemo also kills good cells!,-and if good cells can recover, then so can cancer cells! It’s really an individual choice, but for those who battle with the choice of “should I, I or shouldn’t I,” it’s nice to know that for those that opt out, that there are people out there who can offer other options that may benefit you in some way.

Hmmm, interesting...is there a reason that you re-opened a thread whose last post was May 24, 2012?

Toni what treatment plan are you on now?
