Heartbreaking, but true -- some cancer patients are exploited in the worst possible way

Dear Reader,

I really don't want to think the worst, but some oncologists make it very difficult to give the benefit of the doubt.

Putting myself in their shoes, I can't imagine what it would be like to look into the eyes of elderly cancer patients, day after day, and tell them there's nothing that can be done.

So I want to think that many oncologists are simply offering treatments they know are ineffective in order to give some hope and to make their work just a little bit less heartbreaking.

It might be wrong but at least I could understand it.

But sadly, that's probably not the primary reason why desperate patients are being subjected to needless -- and worthless -- chemo treatments.

No, it's much more likely that it's all about the billing in most cases...and it's a national disgrace.
