Re: Members of the Task Force
Margerie and Carolyn,
Thanks to both of you. You have posted some very important information and deductions. I feel we all have to keep our eyes, ears and minds open when faced with new information. I personally feel that there should have been oncologists, breast surgeons, and oncology radiologists on the panel. I learned from one of my professors when I was in graduate school to become wary of researchers, they are biased by design and can find evidence to prove what they set out to prove. I know that a report that included a more balanced panel whould have had more validity.
