In this video, we’re going to talk about how effective chemotherapy really is. If you’re considering chemo, these are some facts you should know about. Keep in mind that you should always check with your doctor—this is not meant to be advice. Instead, I want to help educate you on the studies available today.

Research shows that only 2.1% of people who do chemotherapy survive after five years.

Let’s take a second to talk about relative and absolute risk.

When you’re being told about the effectiveness of a certain drug or treatment, you want to know about the absolute risk, not the relative risk.

As an example, let’s say that 2/100 people die when not going on chemo and 1/100 people diet after going on chemo.

What would the relative risk look like? The relative risk would say that chemo decreases cancer mortality rate by 50%. Essentially, chemo will double your chance of survival. That sounds very hopeful, right?

But what this data actually means in absolute risk is that chemo reduces cancer mortality rate by 1%. That’s because we’re going from 2 deaths to one death out of 100 people—not 50/100.

Pharmaceutical companies use these numbers to make their drugs look far more effective than they actually are.

This is why it’s always important to always consider the absolute risk—not just the relative risk.

The real question to ask is how long chemo will prolong your life. Ask your doctor about this, and have them give you the studies behind their opinion to see if it matches up.

Many studies out there also suggest that there are other natural ways to battle cancer. Talk to your doctor about these options before you make a decision.
