We know Chemo is tough as a treatment, there's no easy treatment for cancer whatsoever. But that's where her parents have to look at the odds, and help push and support her daughter through the awfulness.
Cancer is a horrible disease there is no easy magical cure that's easy on the body.
I hope that the state steps in on this one, but I have my doubts for some reason.
A friend of mine has a sister with a serious form of cancer, and half their conversations are based around, I can't do this anymore, the treatment is worse then the disease, and the common answer is, it sucks, there's a light at the end of the tunnel but you have to tough it out to get there.
People that sell traditional medicine, or the easy cure, are selling hope to the families and a line to the sufferer that's dangerous.
Maybe in the future, we'll have a machine that can isolate the cancer and shoot the cells with a rainbow laser and the treatment will take 2 hours. But for now radiation and chemo bascially kill the body, but kill the cancer faster.
