Feb 4 World Cancer Day

Saw the hash tag #WorldCancerDay trend for a bit, but some other hash tags seem to be getting more traction.  Looks like there is some football game going on today 😉

Part of World Cancer Day is to educate and stop misinformation.  But many of the tweets are promoting things that are highly questionable "cures."

Do not get me wrong, I am pursuing alternative treatments at this point (will write more on this) since my cancer is inoperable.   This includes exercising heavily and starting triathlon training.  Anything to delay going back on chemo.  But to be clear on this - if the time comes to go back on chemo, I will.  Just don't want to 😀 But there is so much snake oil out there that preys on fears of cancer patients.

Even though I know some of these things are not cures, or even worse, dangerous, sometimes I wonder that the cures in fact being hidden by the illuminati or other conspiracy theories that permeate the internet.  But if anyone thinks that these alternative types are not into this for the money, think again.  Many are no different than the big pharma or the medical institutions they decry.  I found this out as I started figuring out what to do when my current recurrence occurred.  

Anyway, when you have had cancer, or have cancer,  every day is cancer day.  It never is gone, even for those who are cured or NED.
