Essaic tea

When there is nothing traditional medicine can do for a patient, they turn to alternative medicine. Such is the case with Mr. Miller and Essaic tea. For those it has helped it is a wonder. For those it has not, its a farce.

I am hoping for the former. Today I received the news that a very dear friend of mine's older sister (60) has a similar condition which has metatastized to the bone. She also will be treated with hormone deprivation. For lack of appropriate terminology, she has the female version of what Miller has. The sisters are devastated. Their mother is devastated, and all I can do is be there. The most difficult part about a diagnosis of cancer is the realization there is nothing we can do to change the situation.
