So says a friend of mine who had stage 4 cancer about 3 years ago but refused chemo (even though it was advised) because of an autoimmune condition she has. She is thankfully ok and the cancer has gone into remission.
She says that while chemo kills the cancer it also increases the likelihood of it returning later in different cells.
Is there any evidence to support this?
