I think it comes down to this: a patient has his or her reasons for the very personal choices they make regarding their approach to TX. As a caregiver, I don't always understand why my husband chooses one thing over another. And I often think that if it were me, I'd do it differently. That's the beauty of it--we won't choose the same things because we are individuals. Every choice we make is affected by our personal histories. We come here for many reasons--share our experiences, increase our knowledge, forge friendships, enjoy a few laughs, help others, and help ourselves. There are very few places where we can express our deepest fears and be among others who "get it".
