Exactly. It is the individual working with there medical professionals to decide on their treatments based on them as individuals not statistics. We are not cattle we are individuals with our own specific medical and mental health history.
Watching a video or watching a podcast or seminar does not give you the individual medical guidance you need for what is best for you as an individual. A podcast, seminar is only working with statistics not you as an individual.
No one one MCC has your full medical or mental health history and has not seen you as a patient as a medical professional. Don't feel pressured to do something or not do something. That is your decision with the guidance from your medical professionals.
If you don't trust your medical professionals many on MCC will suggest second opinions and even if you trust your medical doctors a second opinion will always help you make decisions.
I was going to Mayo and got my diagnosis but working with my PCP (per his recommendation) got a second opinion not that I did not trust Mayo but another institution agreeing or not agreeing helped my mentally make the decision of what was best for me as an individual statistics as they do not address the individual full medical and mental health history.

Ultimately it will be the concerned medical professionals who can give right treatment options. Even decipher tests etc are not reliable tests. I went through all kind of tests even with 3+4 where the 4 cells were ~3%. But one will not know when it will turn aggressive. So medical professionals are in better position to give treatment for individual condition
