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. ❤️
