When I asked what would happen if I didn't take the drugs, they said most likely I'd be bed-ridden and in lots of pain within 12 to 18 months. It was a grim picture either way. Of course, I chose to take the drugs. I also underwent radiation for cancer in my ribs and prostate. Listen to the success story written by Michael Andrus at ForksOverKnives.
