About cancer removal surgery

Shannon Knight - Cancer Survivor & Founder/CEO of Angels For Shannon.

"Surgery during a time when you’ve got cancer—you need your immune system. The first thing your body will do is direct all your antibodies, everything your body needs to fight the cancer, to the surgical site.

So, it's going to weaken your immune system more."

Webster Kerr - Cancer Researcher

"The five-year cure rate for chemotherapy radiation and surgery is about 2.1 per cent (USA 2.3%).

If you took non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma out it would be less than that."

About cancer removal surgery

About cancer removal surgery

"Cancer is not the problem. Cancer is the symptom.

If you want to look at it from a car analogy, ... cancer is a flashing light on the dashboard. The reason chemo and radiation and surgery don’t work is because everybody’s taking a hammer, and they’re hitting that light but that’s not going to fix the engine.

So my question to patients is very simple, if you took your car to a mechanic and there was a flashing check engine light on your car and the mechanic says, yeah, I can fix that and takes the fuse out, okay, and says, okay, now your problem is solved.

Or, I’ve got a knocking in my engine. Okay. Well here, turn up the radio. Do you hear it now? Well, I can kind of still hear it. Here, put some ear muffs on. Yeah, no. Now I don’t hear it. Okay. Perfect!

You haven’t done anything to the engine. But you’ve stopped the noise."

"They’ve been through chemo and surgery, whatever, and it hasn’t worked and the cancer’s recurred. And they start doing something more sensible generally. They do a diet change."
