I totally understand and believe that some people have tried and cannot tolerate these meds.
My issue is those who try to influence those who are struggling with a decision by being only negative and claiming there is no proof that these meds actually work!
Sometimes we need to encourage others who are trying and having difficulty… sometimes it just takes time.♥️It could save their life.

I thoroughly agree with you on that that no one should try to influence someone else's decision. The best value in these forums, I think, is that people can read others' experiences and develop a list of questions for their own doctors to answer to their satisfaction. Or someone mentions a protocol, like genetic testing, that a doctor didn't suggest and the reader can ask about it or get a second opinion or even decide to change oncologists.

I think of the corny adage, "We're all in this alone together."

I like to read of others experiences w/ cancer, surgeries& treatments as I learn from them snd educate myself to ask intelligent questions to my oncologist and also to research. We all take in information differently, but I haven’t, me personally, felt it read posts that people are trying to influence readers one way or another. It is information sharing. Forums work that way. Some ppl have a high fear factor and they personally’could’ be influenced, but the person posting the comments or info link has only good intentions. Our Mayo Clinic Forum is made up of good people, only wanting the best for everyone. ❤️
