I bailed him up last week and demanded to know what he does with the information I've given him. Where does it go? Is anyone keeping any stats on these peculiar 6% issues? Or are they just relying on the information the drug companies give them? Yes, there is a great deal of research dollars invested in the treatments, but what about all the weirdo things that happen. Why are we not given more information about the risks. His reply? It's hard enough to convince many patients to go ahead with chemo without scaring the hell out of them with horror stories. I'd like to think he was joking, but the smile was not convincing.
