Oh, darn, I'm sorry that you have a newer version of current facts and conclusion. It would be nice to have a respite from the battle I'm sure. But medical knowledge is increasing exponentially so who knows which discovery, today, makes a huge difference in cancer understanding and prevention tomorrow?

And then there's the fact that the human body is still a mystery. As are most viruses on bacteria on the planet.

My mother spent nearly her whole childhood hospital and in surgeries for a mystery illness (diagnosed decades later as likely ostemyelitis). She was 'sent home to die' three times but, instead, grew up to study medicine.

A world-renowned physician spoke at her med school. Someone asked him what was the 'biggest surprise' from his nearly 70 years in medicine.

He replied that he continued to be amazed at the human body's resilience and its natural ability to heal. He studied autopsies in his retirement years and said he'd seen thousands of tumors, and other conditions, that 'should have killed the person' who never knew about them when alive and died of totally unrelated things.

For him, it was like rediscovering the wonder that led him to want to practice 'the art' of medicine as a boy. I grew up hearing that story and being reminded that doctors can only know so much and to pay attention to my own body and then trust my instincts.

I suspect that you might be doing the same while also working through the different facts, data and opinions as the next steps become clear and you just tackle them one at a time.
