@Sister, you might have noticed the first was published in 2010 and the second in 2009. These are both respected medical studies, and this knowledge has been out there, and in lots of bespoke medical publications. This myth that is trotted out that the symptoms described are anecdotal is rubbish. It is a well known and established fact that people stop potentially life saving, or at least life prolonging treatment because of intolerable side effects, and it gets chucked into the "Too Hard" basket...basically suck it up or throw the dice and take your chances. As has been pointed out, if the majority of patients were men....well...that would be different. Research would be undertaken, solutions found (or other reliable alternatives) and lives would be both improved, extended or saved. Disgraceful.
