Over 18 months ago I was diagnosed with a tumor in my kidney. My doctor said that from the cat scan it appeared that the tumor may also have gone into my liver, which if it had the survival rate would be about 5%. He wanted to remove my kidney and part of my liver. After researching cancer treatment and finding that there are A LOT of doctors out there who believe cancer treatment kills more than it saves and thinking about how every person I've known who went through cancer treatment only to go through hell for a year or two and still ended up dying I faced the fact that I was going to die and decided to not do anything. My doctor told me I would be dead in less than 4 months. I spent the next few months basically waiting to die and I was perfectly okay with it after the shock wore off. My doctor started mailing me those 'its time for your 6 month checkup' cards through certified mail! I'm sure it was to see if I was still alive. So here it is a year and a half later and I'm obviously still here and I still feel as healthy as I ever did. The tumor was never tested to see if it was malignant or not, but according to the doctor he "was sure it was cancer". He definitely used fear, and was annoyed that I took it upon myself to research various cancer treatments. His attitude was that I should take his word as gospel and do whatever he said without question. I really believe if I did do that I would either be fucked up in bed or dead by now, maybe it'll still happen but I've had almost 2 years of feeling good that I wouldnt have had I followed his advice.
