 "When Ricki was first diagnosed three years earlier, she underwent a double mastectomy and chemotherapy. Now, the cancer was back, and Ricki was looking to high-dose chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant as her only hope. But her insurer, a Blue Cross affiliate, did not want to pay for it.
The company's reluctance was not surprising. The bill for high-dose chemotherapy began at $ 1 50,000 and could hit $500,000 if the patient suffered complications. The chemotherapy drugs alone ran into the tens of thousands of dollars."- Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
 "While I still had to have a double mastectomy in late June and am on tamoxifen, all my nodes were clear (and they took out 33!); also, the tumor was quite small (1.7 cm). I have every reason to believe that the cancer was contained and probably shrank due to Essiac.
"Additionally, while taking Essiac, a large mole on my back, which was taking on the odd texture and coloration of a skin cancer, completely disappeared. The mole itself had been there unchanged for several years; there was nothing else I did that can explain its disappearance."

 "Where luscious, sometimes artificial breasts would have been, Andrea's double mastectomy scars had been superimposed. You knew you were dealing with someone powerful since she had managed to come up with public advertisements that got pulled in this most liberal American city.
Some children display striking qualities from their earliest days, evincing a wisdom and maturity that most of us only develop in adulthood. My daughter, Lea, has always been able to find a way to comfort those in physical or emotional disarray."- Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) |

 "On the recommendation of her doctors, in June 2002 she underwent a double mastectomy at United Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her choice of hospitals seemed well founded. AARP Modern Maturity magazine that same month singled out United as one of "the nation's fifty leading metropolitan hospitals." As it turned out, the operation was a success. Unfortunately, McDougal was the wrong patient. "Forty-eight hours after the surgery," she explained, "the surgeon walked into my room and said, 'I have bad news for you. You don't have cancer.' I never had cancer. My breasts were needlessly removed."- Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele, Critical Condition: How Health Care in America Became Big Business (Get the book.) |
