The reason I bring it up is that, almost 9 years later I still have the same issue.

Also, terribly misleading to patients to have them think conditions are temporary when they are, in fact, permanent. If you are going to live another 35 years beyond dx, it is something to take into account from a QOL perspective, particularly since so much of this treatment is given for purely risk-management, vs. active treatment purposes.
