[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is typically a beatable cancer. (I’m a colon cancer survivor).
Get your colonoscopy. Follow your med team’s recommendations of gold standard treatment. [/quote]
He chose to treat the cancer “holistically” and tried “a bunch of different things”. 
It’s 100% his choice and decision. But others should not take a stage 3 colorectal cancer diagnosis as a death sentence. Statistically it’s a beatable cancer dx.

I just looked this up THIS POST IS BS he did chemotherapy and all that.

WHY are you spreading misinformation PP? What's wrong with you?[/quote]

Of course he did chemo. It was very clear that he fought like hell to stay alive for his family. He fought his illness with such grace. It takes a real piece of work to criticize an objectively good person gone too soon, so soon after their death. Just wow. [/quote]

I am not the PP but I am so sad at his passing and I think he was an amazing actor and an amazing human.  But none of us have any idea if he did chemo.[b]  I know many, MANY amazing people who elected not to do traditional chemo or radiation for their cancer.[/b]  They have all passed away.  As have many people who DID do all the traditional therapies, so I honestly don't judge their choices, everyone needs to lead their own life journey.  But You have no idea if he did chemo or radiation.  That's just a fact, you don't, unless you are his doctor, in which case you're violating HIPAA. [/quote]

I’m wondering if there is some correlation =/= causation fallacy in people’s thinking (not necessarily yours, PP).

Many people are told that their cancer is terminal - they may very well opt not to undergo chemo or radiation in an effort to prolong their life but at the cost of quality of life.

In those cases, alternative treatments seem like a reasonable risk to take, just in the desperate hope that they will work.[/quote]
