In this 
Cleo takes us on a trip around cancer research and treatment, and the importance of early warning. Too bad she does not mention the treatment that gave my uncle a long life despite cancer: He got diagnosed and was given four more month, but he was not at all ready to lie down and die: he shook his doctor's hand, never visited him again, and instead switched his diet to the "Moermans Diet". This gave him thirty more years of a relatively normal life.
I find it weird that cancer is sometimes treated with radiation therapy, when it is also a known fact that radiation causes cancer as well. My brother fought lung cancer for over nine years, but eventually was unsuccessful not because he did not want to fight anymore, but because his doctors said they had exhausted all options.
