If it were not for hopes, the heart would break.

I decided to thoroughly research this seemingly breakthrough treatment in the USA. After all I need to be armed with knowledge in order to have any power in my decision making. I think I have always been sceptical of this and hence I have not been particularly pro active about it. I suppose I wanted a little day dream to hang on to and so didn't look into to it too closely, and thus shatter my dream. However, having, in my dark mood the last few days, thought about it again, I decided that I had to be a bit more realistic. I had to face up to whether or not this was worth pursuing and if it meant bursting the bubble then so be it.
I spent quite a while last night researching and yes, as I thought, it just doesn't add up. It would seem (and I cant say this for sure) that it is a bit of a ruse, There is no real medical data available and a lot of the fine detail of this clinical treatment and all that goes with it, is to say the least, less than perfect. Am I surprised? Not in the slightest. We live in a world where cancer robs people of their lives and these people co exist with others who want to get rich, do you see a business plan. People with terminal cancer myself included, often look for hope anywhere that they can. There are people who will provide it at a cost, we have to be careful not to lose sight of this in our bid to live. I haven't lost sight, it is one little house of hope that I have boarded up. It's ok, there are others with the light still shining through the windows and I will inhabit them when the time is right. You will be the first to know which one I visit next.
