I thought about commenting publicly on this thread but didn't want to add fuel to the flame. But I changed my mind and decided that speaking up is necessary here. And I know that you are one person whose commitment to the truth does not require my endorsement or anyone else's either. Thanks for being the vocal man you are. Your contribution to OCF is so valuable and your willingness to enter the fray is much appreciated. It is essential for this community that information be factual and not opinion based. I empathize with anyone facing difficult decisions regarding healthcare choices. Most of us have been there countless times over the course of treatment. It is never easy. The decision comes down to the benefit outweighing the risk.
One more thing...the medical community is one big connected organism. Research is shared. It is in their best interest and ours to act on proven results.
My best to everyone facing tough medical decisions- Anita
