He said his son's tumor is over a year old, and at
the time doctors contended the cancer would
metastasize in two weeks.

``It's been a year. So evidently it's not as bad as
they say. Wouldn't you err on the side of
caution?'' he said.

Parker Jensen was diagnosed with Ewing's
sarcoma, an aggressive cancer that most
commonly afflicts adolescents. A tumor was
removed from the soft palate of Parker's mouth
six months ago, and the Jensens say it may never
have been cancerous, despite the diagnosis of at
least five doctors.

Blood tests since then have detected no lingering
cancer cells, and Parker is healthy and happy.
Television newscasts often show the boy
bouncing happily on a trampoline.

1. I have an ongoing mistrust of Doctor's myself - "they are never wrong"

. . ya RIGHT !

I have yet to have a doctor that didn't roll his/her eyes when I tell them a bout vitamins or minerals I may be taking - they just want to give me an anti-biotic affter a 5 minute chat - and if that don't work - well - letsee - we'll try this OTHER antibiotic - and so on

not much wonder they call it a doctor's PRACTICE

same with Lawyersm it's referred to as a PRACTICE

and quite rightly so win or lose - they get big bucks !

I have a TRADE - and if I feck up, then I either don't get paid, or fix it right for nothing!

CHEMO is an invasive damaging treatment, and it's success rate is not that good
- short version - most who get on chmotherapy have a shorter life span.

HAT'S off to these parents, they are NOT guuilty of NEGLECT from what I have read

- they ARE however, GUILTY of fighting the Establishment

- and we certainly can't have THAT, now can we ? ?
