Status quo, and humane accuracy
We all are stuck in limbo and confusion by pure logic here.
I think what is tragic is that the two pieces of research that have continued to fail to be done, (herceptin given alone, and herceptin given long after chemo) are in reality, YEARS after the introduction of trastuzumab, STILL being used by sheer inference as if they were actual evidence against not doing chemo when in fact they are not evidence at all.
The result in this circumstance is a person who is experiencing serious discomfort and difficulty in trying to find a way to make a rational decision about what to do next about her situation, and the necessary scientific information to advise her remains unnecessarily limited, oncs or no oncs, cancer centers or no cancer centers.
By acquiescing to the status quo or cheering others on based on our genuine desire to see others survive, we encourage it to continue.
