Thank you, Ester.? Making medical decisions is not always easy for me and some may turn out to have not been the best decisions after all. ? I¡¯ve said no to certain tests - especially those with ionizing radiation- unless the benefit is greater than the risks (broken bones, dental problem, etc).? I believe our medical care system is so fear-driven, especially regarding cancer, and we are taught to trust the doctors because they are the experts. ? In 1995, when you faced the diagnosis and surgery, it wasn¡¯t possible to do any research online so it would have been natural to assume that the surgeon knew best. ? I¡¯m grateful that we can access more information online like Sandra¡¯s website and this group.? Best wishes for continued healing, Marilyn
