Have you ever known someone who has gone to a Mexican cancer clinic, and got their cancer cured?

I’ve read plenty of anecdotes about people with success stories at Mexican cancer clinics. But I’ve never met anyone who had such an experience. Have you?

I recently heard about this. Unfortunately a friend of ours is suffering from Breast Cancer. She has good treatment here, thankfully. But this prompted a discussion. A friend in the community had been diagnosed with cancer. She couldn’t get the proper treatment here so decided to go to Mexico. They did give her good treatment but I suppose she had waited to long to go so it wasn’t effective. That is all I know about the scenario. I am all for cancer patients getting whatever help is needed on whatever terms they feel is appropriate.

What I can’t remember, which was the point of the conversation, is why people go to Mexico for treatment. Was it cost? I think that was it. She didn’t have good healthcare here and in Mexico she could get the help without the extreme cost.

I have a friend who said she went to Mexico to get her cancer cured, but after asking her a bunch of questions, it seems like she had a lump and bypassed the doctors all together so she never had a definitive diagnosis.
She said that the practitioner told her that she was lucky she never had any medical treatment because her “cures” rarely work after chemo.
