Okay so one of my friends told me one of her friend's has a friend with Cancer. She told me to make a thread to tell her a few things. Here I go: You're very special, I want you to know that!! -
I have a friend who had cancer. She thankfully discovered it early on and was cured. I had another friend who had breast cancer. She died and left a son motherless. Cruel world.
The first statistical analysis of this question was compiled in 1844 by Dr. Leroy d’Etoilles and published by the French Academy of Science. It is, to date, the most extensive study of its kind ever released. Over a period of thirty years, case histories of 2,781 patients were submitted by 174 physicians. The average survival after surgery was only one year and five months—not much different than the average today. Dr. Leroy d’Etoilles separated his statistics according to whether the patient submitted to surgery or caustics, or refused such treatment. His findings were electric: The net value of surgery or caustics was in prolonging life two months for men and six months for women. But that was only in the first few years after the initial diagnosis. After that period, those who had not accepted treatment had the greater survival potential by about fifty percent. (Walter H.
