On the “MY Story” page of the web site, YourCancerInfo.com, I referred to the hospital where I first went for treatment as “a very well known Cancer Treatment Center and hospital in Boston”. After they almost killed me, they washed their hands of me. “You don’t respond well to our chemotherapy” they said and suggested I go some place else for treatment.
My cancer was Advanced Head and Neck Cancer. The primary cancer was in my tonsils. Because of the total arrogance and incompetence of this team of doctors, I had to have a colostomy. Whoever heard of having a colostomy as a result of head and neck Cancer? That is usually associated with colon cancer.
Because of the “stellar reputation of that institution”, I chose not to identify them by name. I just referred to them as “well known Cancer Treatment Center and hospital”. I thought that maybe my having a colostomy during treatment for head and neck cancer was just some freak oddity, an obscure and isolated occurrence that was unlikely to happen to anyone else.
Evidently it was not an isolated occurrence. Yesterday I received a very disturbing phone call. A friend of mine was being treated at that same treatment center and hospital for Breast cancer and was given a colostomy. Excuse me? A colostomy as a result of breast cancer treatment? My colostomy as a result of head and neck cancer treatment? Looks like a pattern to me.
Since I was given a colostomy during treatment for head and neck cancer and my friend was given a colostomy during treatment for breast cancer at this same “well known Cancer Treatment? Center and hospital”, I feel its my duty and responsibility to reveal the name of this treatment center and hospital as a warning to others.
It is the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Bringham and Womens Hospital in Boston.
It is a well know fact that this treatment center uses massive chemo doses of chemotherapy drugs in their treatment. I wonder why. I believe this article explains why, Chemotherapy Drugs - A Major Profit Center For Oncologists

I don’t know what to say except that I am shocked. I understand your former feelings; but I am glad that you have published the name of the treatment centre. People to stay clear of that place. I’m thinking they should be investigated as to their procedures for cancer treatment. Anyway, thanks for alerting the public.
