I agree with you, KC.
I had a young friend whose oncologists told her there was no hope. There was nothing they could do for her. So, she tried every alternative treatment she could find. Even though none of those alternative treatments worked for her, she did not regret trying them because they gave her HOPE. Hope is what keeps patients going. Who knows what might work?
OTOH, my dear father suffered and was refused all help, all hope. I wish he’d been given a “right to try.” It took months to find doctors willing to try something, but it was too late by then.
I never heard of “Right to Try” laws before now. A quick search produced some more information:
We all know that the FDA process holds up lifesaving medicines sometimes (if not all the time). If “Right to Try” laws give terminal patients greater access to promising medicines, that can’t be a bad thing.
By the way, best wishes to you, KC. I have a relative who’s been surviving the same disease for years, thanks to a miracle pill.
Well, it’s what I get for not Drinking, Smoking or doing Drugs. LOL
Thanks for the kind thoughts. I should know what the heck is going on in the next few weeks. I feel pretty good and I’ve been dealing with it for over nine years now and thought I was in my third remission.
After six months of Chemo last year I figured 2015 would be a breeze.
