Yes. Good letter. I appreciate the opportunity to read it.
Does anybody really understand any disease unless they have it or someone very close to them has it?
People going through treatment for kidney disease, MS, heart disease, Diabeties,and other diseases understand the ups and downs of those diseases better than most people in the general population do. That is why in the thread about the movie Five I thought they should have consulted real people who are/were affected by breast cancer. Perhaps a few people with diseases should be on the boards of drug companies or the FDA too.
