In these cases, like Dr. Druker recently told Barb about her son, there is no right or wrong answer. If either were the perfect solution, the choice would be easy...but neither is a perfect choice (Gleevec is not because we don't know the long term results of this drug, or any of the future drugs). So each person makes their OWN best choice. I think (and hope others do) that it should be OK for anyone to post how they feel about the subject........and how you feel is not controversial.....we each get to have our own feelings about the subject and there is benefit in sharing them. Because we all know that we don't get the FULL picture from the doctors. I think this is a healthy discussion about treatment options and choice. Nancy C. ------------------------ Yahoo!
