Minnie, I totally agree with you. Since everyone's situation is different, we must be careful not to be biased in recommending one kind of treatment over the other. We are not medical professionals and the best thing a patient can do prior to treatment is to gather information and discuss with the team of doctors to arrive at the best possible option. The top priority is which treatment is the most effective to eliminate all cancer cells; the side effects is just the second consideration.
