Agreed.
He must be the only celebrity that welcomes the National Enquirer to
inquire.

Fingers crossed that Peter will win out over his cancer. I do wonder
though if his doctors will consider treatments other than radiation
and chemo? Specifically, could his doctors try to destroy the cancer
by super deep freezing the cancer to -200*F or closing off the supply
of blood going to the cancer? I know some doctors now recommend using
the super deep freeze method, which is a solution injected into the
cancer that freezes the cancer and destroys it on the spot. I'm not
sure if the temperature is -200*F or what they call absolute zero,
which I think is something like another 260* colder. The other method,
cutting off the blood supply to the cancer, causes the tumor to shrink
and keep shrinking until it goes away. The cancer in essence being the
vampire that feeds on the blood. I'm not sure why so many doctors
continue with the tried and failed methods of chemo and radiation.
Radiation weakens the body, making it less immune to unrelated
illnesses that an otherwise healthy person would be able to beat. And
some of the chemo drugs are toxic to a human host and likely to cause
the person's death. And at least one chemo drug can cause cancer just
by touching it with unprotected hands. That one was told to me by a
few pharmacy managers, and when I asked why would someone battling
cancer be given a drug that can cause cancer? The answer being that it
was the fighting fire with fire adage. Cancer isn't just a single
disease but a disease of several thousand different varieties. Even
so, I don't believe doctors should be giving cancer patients a drug
that fights a cancer, yet is capable of causing it. Deep freezing the
cancer or shutting off the blood supply sound like more reasonable
treatments than chemo and radiation.
But, God speed to Peter and wishes for a quick recovery.

Me, either. I heard surgery is what makes the cancer cells fly all
over the place. I heard oxygen treatment is most effective, but you
apparently cannot get it in the U.S..
