Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies

I have only watched episode 1 so far. It is educational, but difficult to watch. Not for the faint hearted. While I do understand that everything that was done to people with cancer in the past was considered "the best they could" at the time, I still see it as barbaric. Unfortunately the same continues these days, nothing really changed,just looks more sophisticated. We still have no idea how a human body works, let alone understand it on a cellular level. There are 2 modern day children cancer cases included in the episode 1. I wish I had not watched it. What we do to children in my opinion is a crime. No different than medical experiments that were conducted during WWII on prisoners. They too were powerless. We address our own emotions pushing all kind of experimental and extreme s called treatments on the innocent children who can't decide for themselves. While you do want your child to live happily ever after, your decision to subject them to inhumane suffering is beyond cruel. Let them die the most humaine way possible is the way to go. Instead they die in agony. And it is the parents who subject them to that. We must embrace that death is inevitable and don't prolong life at any cost. I just wanted to strangle all the doctors in this documentary. A friend of mine had said thank you,but NO to chemo,radiation and surgery. He lived 5 beautiful years controlling his cancer with his mind only. He would have been dead after his first chemo.
