PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT SITE

 

 

This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer.
There are only four rules:

  • No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
  • No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
  • No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
  • Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.

Re: Wouldn't it Be Nice: A Whimsical Diversion

Jon:
We are of the same mind. I am hopeful the medical community will sooner or later come up with a solution to our dilemma.
Best wishes. Don

Re: Wouldn't it Be Nice: A Whimsical Diversion

Seasons greetings Don. My perspective is that medicine is not an exact science. Why so you ask? Well treatment protocols can and do vary quite substantially among health consumers and that surprisingly also includes identical twins. The problem is not so much with the treatment protocols but rather our unique genetic profile and the interaction twixt. Some may well argue that mankind being only several thousand years old as a unique species, the identification of genetic subsets and therapies targeted thereto, should be relatively simple? If only that were true! Even drug dosage are not precise, a variation of 5 to 10 percent is the norm in most countries. Also medical speciality is exploding. Essentially we are learning more and more, about less and less.

Always good to hear from you John...as usual an interesting and thought provocative perspective.
