Sorry Charm,

I wasn't mad at your post, was mad at the craziness going on in the media. Your post was about highlighting delay and alternative treatments as a poor choice with which I totally agree

this bit that got me going was the quote from the researcher who suggested it was a mild form of cancer. I would have accepted this if he had been some ignorant journalist, but as a scientist, he should have been more careful with his words. He should have said slow growing. There is no such thing as a mild cancer (assuming it is malignant)in my opinion.

PS "Despicable Me" is my all time favourite movie and shifted "Dirty Dancing" off its 30 odd year pedestal
