Hi, everyone,

I imagine that most people on this board feel that they were either under-treated or over-treated based on their outcome and side effects. I have followed Grant Achatz's story off and on and have thought about this issue quite a bit. I think there are multiple components to decisions about treatment including (my take on what I've read about him) that he was willing to risk the possibility of not living in order to avoid what he viewed as untenable consequences of the more aggressive treatment. I can understand that. I think my husband was treated more aggressively than will others with his particular situation in the future and he has some side effects to show for it - but for him that was the "right" decision. It would have been difficult for us to try a less aggressive treatment if it didn't work out and wonderful for us if it did!
