This type of cancer and it's location make it much tougher to survive and treat. The quality of life issues we face pale in comparison to other types of cancer. In no way do I believe any type of cancer is a walk in the park. It's just a diffucult location to have cancer. It's embarrassing to have these well meaning people come up and offer "Old Joe's" magical potion to me.
I do think diet is very important in preventing as well as healing cancer. It's just the fact no one has the answer yet. Thats just my 2 cents worth on this subject.
