Amy and Gino,
I'm very, very happy for both of you that you are comfortable with your decision and that you get to avoid radiation. I will continue to pray that you stay cancer free.

Now, I would like to remind you both of something. You came to this website seeking our advice, asking us questions. We offered that advice to the best of our knowledge. For Amy to suggest that any one of us would say "I told you so" is insulting. If anything, I feel as if both of you are playing the "I told you so" with all of us. I can promise both of you that none of us make up or invent the knowledge we impart. Please don't be so quick to try and tell us we are wrong. Neither of you have even made it past the first road block, while most of us have traveled this road and lost many, many friends along the way. All of our advice was given with the best of intentions.
Again, I am thrilled that you can avoid radiation and pray that cancer will leave you alone!
