None of us wanted to go thru this barbaric Tx but none of us wanted to die either and as far as I know there was no credible scientific proof that going with any alternative Tx was anything but very risky bordering on the foolish.
Lets hope that this has and will continue to work for him and maybe something positive can come from this.
