Tril, take care of yourself. Please, just take care of yourself. And don't mix meds with alcohol.

Not at all, I really appreciate you explaining the study parameters, I didn't realize they used the current method as the control. Funny though, I've wondered about the ethics of doing nothing for the control group, wondered how they were chosen.

Besides, putting it in writing makes you examine what you know and don't know, and that can't hurt.

Anyone who has these treatments must be very brave. I have been to a Dr once in the last 30 years

Emergency room 2x. I seem to have worse problems if I let physicians prescribe drugs.

Not brave when the treatment's necessary - but thanks. Just hard to persevere. So sick tonight.

I'm sorry you're feeling crappy. But just imagine how that last cancer cell is feeling. It's ten times worse for that fucker.*evil laugh*

WHS^

Yeah, what glatt said.

Thanks ... I'll visualize those cancer cells going down one by one. The coming concept in the literature is that metastatic cells are present in the bone marrow before the primary is ever detected. The idea of being 'cancer free' after simple surgery is probably inaccurate. Unlike many cancers, breast cancer comes back, and back, and back ... the gift that keeps on giving. You don't ever go back to normal risk, even if you go years before a recurrence. Surgery gets the local disease but chemo is for the systemic. So - down with ye, distant cancer cells!
