After not seeing my brother for a year, and then receiving a call from a supposed leading cancer center about his terrible condition, I was appalled.

This report makes me wonder of how may patients are victims of cruel treatments that never really were examined at a level they should have been examined.
To describe my brother is to describe someone that was so far gone, he soon became incoherent, his wasted body was too weak to stand, and the coma he fell into was only ended by his death. Modern medicine? Hardly. It can be as horrendous as that in the Middle Ages.
