Am I the only one doing this ?

I suspect it’s not that simple - the article does not cover at all (so don’t know what the study showed) side effects! So while the incidence of cancer recurrence looks to be significantly reduced, we don’t know what other effects (on the heart, for example) may have been experienced. You can’t have both chemotherapy regimens together, as the body can’t take it. As my peripheral neuropathy impact looks to be permanent, I consider side effects important. I don’t regret treatment with hindsight, but it may well have affected my acceptance of treatment if I had been told it was highly likely beforehand! We are mostly pretty easily startled about these things when we start on this caper! I also wonder about the last para - almost a throw away line, but surely critical?
