Breast Cancer, Anyone???

You want better treatment? Read this! And ---- Tell this to our U. S. Senators. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray from that cranky political activist Laurel Piippo (three-time cancer survivor of the old school slash/burn/poison trearment):A MESSAGE from MARLENE OLIVER, international expert on cancer treatment. Marlene says:"Even better."A radioimmunotherapy study of metastatic invasive breast cancer (the worst kind) showed complete remission in 100% of study subjects at the proper dosage - I saw the data (G. Sgouros, Johns Hopkins, personal communication, 2007).Marlene"(NCI, CARRA)PS Barbara Blethen, formerly of PNL, succumbed to metastatic invasive breast cancer.PPS Food for thought:US medical practice = profit motiveEuropean medical practice - socialized = /no profit motive/ (except for a few for-profit, private clinics)Mike Fox wrote:>Dennis:>I haven't made this a research project, but I have received similar >reactions, when I've approached various fund-raising tables for breast >cancer research.
