A family member, older (80), received a flu shot a few months ago. And has in the past. I personally stay a million miles away from them because I do not trust them as far as I can spit. That is being polite.
I attended physicals for the family member too and things have been checking out very well.
A week ago the family member was diagnosed with lung cancer.
Could there remotely be a connection? "C" happen that fast? Of course there are a slew of possibilities, especially with the age thing. But, am just wondering....
I'm more inclined to say this is a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc. While your theory is possibly correct, given our generally polluted environment and that this person is 80, you have a number of more likely causes for this unfortunate situation. Did something severely traumatic happen to this person two years before the diagnosis?
Thank you for these responses. It is worth musing about is all.
As far as a traumatic event, the person did experience exhaustion after Thanksgiving and ended up with a bad upper respiratory issue that took weeks to heal.
I am just piecing together their history now to see what if anything may have influenced, tho at 80, this is a long time to acquire things...
While I'm no fan of vaccinations, I wouldn't imagine this particular one was solely responsible for his cancer. Most lung cancers, particularly non-small cell lung cancer, are fairly slow-growing.
When a tumor was discovered in my lung, the doctor estimated it had probably been growing for seven years or more.
I would have to think that there is not a relationship between a flu shot of only months ago and the recent diagnosis of lung cancer. Lung cancers typically take years to grow to a detectable size. Which is not to say that a flu or other vaccine from years past might have been a contributor.
As you may have noted from posts I have made in the past, my own uncle was diagnosed with lung cancer some years ago when he was 80 plus years old. Mainstream medicine all but promised a cure but failed to deliver. Rather than eliminating the cancer with mainstream treatment his tumors continued to grow, new tumors formed and his cancer began to spread to other parts of his body. Instead of following their advice for even stronger treatments and chemo (they initially tried targeted radiation pellets), he listened to me and, after having his brother-in-law check out oleander at MD Anderson and receiving glowing reports, opted to take oleander and follow a natural protocol similar to the one I just posted here (http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1606070#i). Today, he is in his mid-80's, quite healthy and cancer free.
