Terminal Cancer: Finding Hope in Truth
Journal Title: Journal of Family Medicine and Disease Prevention - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
More than 93% of 58 University of Hartford undergraduates of both genders responded affirmatively to the following question: "If you had cancer and had exhausted all conventional curative options, would you want the option to try reasonable, relatively safe, inexpensive-but unconventional and untested-remedies?" We review some such options and recommend that cancer patients not be declared "terminal" before being allowed to embrace such options.
