I’ve come to understand that most cancer doctors are so wrapped up in the healing they give that they can’t process the damage they do.
I’m not criticizing them but just saying that their mentality suppresses the known damage the treatments cause and they focus on the good it does instead —a denial on their part. Thanks to them though I’m still alive.
