All I want to do is bang my head against a wall - but I think I will follow Mel's lead in another thread, I will have chocolate and yoghurt and then get on my threadmill.
I mean really - what are oncologists supposed to say to their male patients - "ahhh mate if you only were a lass (or you don't need your super) I might have a solution for you that does not involve chemo, but look on the bright side at least you will not have repeated ECGs looking for a long QT interval".
Really - I mean really?? - this is Australia - Just over 20 million in one of the most fortunate lands on earth and we struggle to get the latest treatments for our sick?
I have said and I will repeated - my frustration with what is fast becoming a two tier treament process - takes nothing away from BCNA efforts to brings these treatments to all BC patients.
