I'm a premed grad,..pay close attention to what I have to say OP.. I read a few years ago about a cure discovered for Leukemia in a story from Reuters but that it was very very expensive. There are cures out there..the question is whether or not they are affordable or if the for profit american medical industry will allow you to have them.

Watch "BURZYNSKI" THE MOVIE.. OR READ UP ON THE BURZYNSKI CLINIC IN TEXAS.. THIS MAN HAS CURED CANCER..BUT THE FDA WANTS HIM DEAD.

You can help save your friend but you will need some unbiased help to do it.
number ONE rule.. don't listed to the doctors/hospitals.etc.
Do the research yourself and RESIST chemo and radiation. because it will KILL faster than the cancer!
