[quote=tamvonk]Here in New Zealand none of the Oncologists/ medical personnel make any money from any of the chemo drugs.
Firstly, all health care is free.
Secondly all medication /chemo drugs are provided free.
Treatment methods/drugs used are chosen according to treatment protocols. All evidence based.

Sorry, but nothing is free. Someone is paying for the medication and chemo drugs. Who? The taxpayer. No free lunch. "All evidence based." Funny. In a thread that most posters are demeaning a cancer survivor for trying to determine the relevant survival statistics to his disease, you write that. Treatment protocols are chosen based on the results of the clinical trials and the use of STATISTICS.
