Even though Chemotherapy is used to kill all the cancer’s cells, it also kills the red and white cells in process, giving side effects like, bleeding (nose bleeds) , hair loss, and vomiting (Patlak 21). In cases of only having a small stage of NHL or when Chemotherapy is out of the picture due to the damage Chemo does to the heart, Radiation therapy is a second choice. In some cases, however, both Chemo and Radiation therapy is used simultaneously. Radiation therapy is a high energy x-ray that is used to damage cancer cells and stop them from growing. With NHL doctors often not only aim the radiation to the one site but to the other lymph nodes in the region to make sure the cancer is not hiding in another node.
“The mother was beaten to death. She has dozens of broken bones, a fractured skull, and as you can see, she is not recognizable at all.” The detective was shocked by the brutality of the beating, “Jesus Christ!” he exclaimed. “What about the rest?” “Jim, the father. He was slightly starved, but the cause of death is dehydration.” “It’s like he just neglected him completely… left the bastard to die while killing the rest of ‘em.” The coroner moved to the next set of corpses. They stank and made the air smell rotten.
The only downside to this option is that it can result in a high risk of the lesion returning. Another option is chemotherapy which is the use of chemicals that kill the cells. Radiation too is an option and that is the use of ionizing radiation beams that kill cells. Both of these methods are very extreme and draining on a patient. They become very weak and sick through these treatments because they kill not only malignant cells but healthy ones as well.

He went from a healthy two and a half year old, to dead in just twelve days. Now Barbara is a food safety advocate trying to stop the beef companies spread E. coli. Later in the movie Michael Pollan states “switching feedlot cattle to a grass diet would eliminate eighty percent of the E. coli in the cows’ digestive tracts” (Food, Inc.).
