the new request to post links only

has impacted my ability/time to post as I would wish to

I used to be able to put yellow warning signs in, to put a preface on as to whether what I was posting was probably applicable to her2 breast cancer, if it was done in cell lines only or in mice only, whether the study appeared to be well done(potential flaws with the study)

I have to back out of my system, go into another one which may potentially provide a useful link and have many other difficulties and often the link I provide still is not useful.

I don't really have the time to comment on your post--I try to take the time when I think it is important for someone to really understand an abstract, article etc.

I read about many other conditions besides her2+ breast cancer and send the information to individuals, rather than posting it.

That said, there are many fewer hassles when I provide info to individuals as they do not insist on links.

I used to waver and waver as whether to post certain articles...but of late a
group of people have posted that they like to arm up on information whether it is hopeful and uplifting or not. I still try to put into the title line if the subject is hopeful for those who avoid my posts considering them technical and sometimes scary.

I prioritize my energies, deciding what efforts produce the most good, hope, ammunition, etc. vs how much time/effort/annoyance is involved.

With trying to link, the balance is changing and I am in the process of resetting my priorities in light of the new conditions.

A post the other day from someone with brain mets whose course markedly benefited from my post on Boswellia(tumors shrunk by 40% and started her on a prolonged stable course, if I recall) encouraged me to persist despite the request for linking. I continue to reevaluate...
