A teen that was forced to undergo chemotherapy by the state says that after all
that, her cancer has returned. The state had argued that the treatment would give
her an 85 percent chance of survival. "Here is my `85% chance' of life after
chemo," she wrote in her Facebook post. "Unfortunately I didn't make the 85%, I
fell into the 15%." Callender and her mother initially refused the chemotherapy,
saying they wanted to explore more natural alternative treatments.
