When I say that I want to see what my St. Cloud doctors have to say about all this it's not because I want to surrender my power, or spare their feelings, or anything like that. It's because I want to hear about it from actual doctors who specialize in cancer. As opposed to opinionated people on the internet with a lot of anecdotal conclusions. No offense, I appreciate and respect you guys and you've given me a lot to think about, but professional opinions are needed too. They may agree with you. Or asking these things may bring out a vibe in them that makes me run the other way. We'll see. smile
