Doctors and patients are all dealing with immediate issues and in my opinion that is where we all should put our focus. What gets lost is the "long term" side effects which you are so well versed in. We all pray that these are things we will be lucky enough to deal with someday, but when they arrive help IS needed. Thank you for so generously sharing your experiences and tips.
