I know a way to gurantee the cancer won't kill you.
We hire a Brazilian to shoot you.
Cheered my mum up.

I hesitate to say this because I don't exactly have all the facts, but IL2 sounds like a bum deal. Survival in these medical terms usually means lasting more than 5 years. For an equivalent risk of dying immediately I don't see the advantage, really.

We adopted the immune deficiency paradigm for my mother's treatment, which hit stage three soon after being diagnosed. The foundation of this response is that cancer arises from a weakened immune system failing in its daily job of weeding out cancer. And that in instances where patients beat cancer taking (for example) holy water it's the immune system doing the work.
This means having as simple and sensible a diet as you can stand without compromising your morale, taking exercise, plenty of water, and keeping a positive fighting outlook. The issue of morale is key since we know that depressive or subordinate people often suffer weakened immune responses. It also meant applying chemo and alternative treatments where their action would not critcially compomise the imune system. Where it did so at all we would act to renew the immune system as fast as possible following completion of the treatment.
Obviously, as you know, my mother only lasted just shy of five years so didn't technically survive. But on the other hand her initial prognosis was only six months.
The biggest advantage of the immune paradgm is that irrespective of the efficacy I can attest to its creating a high quality of life in the end period. Which, compared to people who get banjo'd by a bus sucks but is better.
