Subject: Official Information request - Recovery from chemotherapy

Dear Ministry of Health,
Does chemotherapy treatment cure (as in complete remission) bowel, breast
or lung cancers? Or does it treat the symptoms only?
Does chemotherapy treatment cause disease, weaken and make brittle the
bones of the person receiving chemotherapy treatment?
Does radiation treatment cause diesase, weaken and make brittle the bones
of the person receiving radiation treatment?
Is chemotherapy an antiparasitic treatment?

Yours faithfully,

Jody Muntz
