Interesting documentary comparing treatment on the NHS with alternative treatments. My family's been affected by cancer so I am looking into it and wish all the best to those who have been affected by it or might be going through it. The statistics suggest that around 1 in 2 people will have cancer in the next 20 - 30 years which is shocking if true.

It's far more dangerous to the boomers than covid....but we haven't destroyed the economy combating it, never even tried. The research depends upon charity donations across the western world. How very very strange....or not. Edited by Stirlingsays (10 Jun 2021 4.48pm)

They must account for millions of cancer cases.

They must account for millions of cancer cases. I have a vague impression that governments paid out compensation over those tests....no doubt not enough. I have little doubt what was done was extremely reckless and that it's affected families even now.

Firstly sitdownstandup, sympathies to you and your family if you've been touched by cancer. Unfortunately the word itself seems to scare people more than the illness itself. The worst is when young folk are affected, then it's really hard. I scanned through the film. Didn't watch it all, but got the drift. Personally I don't buy it. In my experience treatments for cancer are improving all the time. Won't bore you with the all the gory details, suffice to say I was diagnosed with two cancers in 2013. One, Prostate, was treatable; the other Myeloma is basically incurable. At the time my Consultant told me the prognosis was that I'd maybe have another 3 or 4 years. After loads of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and 2 dreadful stem cell transplants, I'm still around. The diagnosis of and treatment for Prostate C has improved drastically in just the eight years since I first knew about mine. The antibody drugs they use for Myeloma are light years ahead of where things were. They started me with Thalidomide. Didn't touch it. So, like I say, I don't go along with the fact that money is being wasted trying to find treatments. It isn’t. The medics and scientists in this country are amazing. You only have to look at how quickly they were able to find acceptable vaccines for Covid. So, for what it's worth all I'd say to you is, have faith in the doctors who are involved with your family. They will find the most acceptable way to deal with what you're all going through. All the best.

King Charles. Is it my imagination, or does EVERYBODY get Cancer ? if we all live long enough of course. Not too many cancer deaths when a large airplane hits the side of a mountain. Certainly, the Middle East fares better than most places. The abstinence from alcohol plus the intermittent Fasting are an excellent cancer prevention.

Every person has cancer we do not know the cause of what triggers it. The last statement is nonsense how do you prevent if you do not know the cause. You are making the same claims that you hear when people go on about risk which is a cause/effect statement. Do we need to consume alcohol NO the same with sugar also the same with eating multi times a day (do all of these contribute towards cancer unknown no experiment has been conducted and never will) Cancer is big $$$ we really have not treatment wise progressed with it you hear about all these treatment etc it's BS. Charities are pretty much scams with odd one here or their which tend to be smaller ones being really legit. Final thing I don't trust a single thing the Royals put out they always have some sort of agenda.
