I saw it.
Was 'glad' to see the reality from the perspective of those with progressing cancer. And also impressed with the onc of the gal with pancreatic ca.
The reality of just where we are in treating cancer. And the silliness of the 'prevention' hooha, but for smoking (30% causal as quoted.). The rest, as we have repeadtedly stated in our own words: "A Crap Shoot."
The wrong thinking of 'they didn't fight hard enough'. And the blame (and guilt) of doing something to cause our ca.
Loved the discussion of the mistaken notion that 'early' detection/treatment was the ticket for cure or longevity, where in fact, many of the early cancers would resolve on their own anyway.
Being perverse, I also liked the 'put down' of Lance. He had the most treatable of cancers, testicular. As if he were the poster boy for CA in general......
The 'discussion' after was less than I hoped for, however. Especially the comment by the bc specialist, telling his patients to "stay away from the internet".
Would have liked this to be shown as a short series, with more real people and their experiences...
just me.
