German housewife (unregistered) wrote in #5 As i understand the story, the treatment was delayed but as the mother insisted on it, carried out anyway, and the treatment (not the illness itself) lead to the death of child and mother. I disagree strongly to rename sideeffects of treatments as "complications" of an illness, if the illness itself without treatment would not develope such complications. Furt hermore, chemotherapy is controversal, as it is (recently) proven to trigger cancer growth.  There are also controversial views on leukemia. In most cases, the people lack confidence and this is processed on an organic level somewhere in the bones, they will degrade until its recognizable as anemia. Once the people find confidence the bones recover and this is what you call leukemia. It surely is painful, because of the internal pressure on the nerves in the bone-skin, but if left untreated it is almost never deadly, it is one of those things you just need to ride out. Some years ago it was seldom treated at all, because it was viewed as harmless. It's crazy how people are brainwashed into killing themselves with such treatments while blaming the illness, just by sarcastic interpretation. If the treatment lead to her death once aplied, than an earlier treatment would only have resulted in an ealier death, and although i wouldn't go as far as to say that its all the mothers own fault to have guided her daughter along this destructive path, i'd surely say she should face the fact, that she shares responsibility, and has to accept the consequences of what she (and her daughter) choosed to believe in.  this comment makes absolutely no sense.  Do you have children?

Earth to "German Mother" poster... Anemia and Lukemia are not related. Yes, the are both blood disorders, but that is where similarities end. Also, how could you possibly think that both diseases are related to someone's level of confidence. That just doesn't make any sense.  Anemia is when  ody doesn't produce enough red blood cells, and lukemia is when white blood cells are damaged a the DNA level.

T here are also controversial views on leukemia. In most cases, the people lack confidence and this is processed on an organic level somewhere in the bones, they will degrade until its recognizable as anemia.
