Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 > > The doctor said she needs to have surgery (DNC). > > yes.,.that's how they make money. > cindi The above statement by Cindi is TRUE and is why everyone should do their own research before following the advice of any one doctor!!! A surgeon is going to recommend surgery. A radiologist is going to recommend radiology. A chemo doc is going to recommend chemo. ANY doc is going to recommend any of the above if they have colleagues who do ANY of the above. This is NOT to say that you should NOT do any of the above for certain problems. BUT......INVESTIGATE. ASK QUESTIONS BEYOND WHAT YOU ARE TOLD. JOIN GROUPS. etc. EXAMPLE: My husband had prostate cancer just over a year ago. All of the above was recommended to him by different docs. NO ONE told him about Proton Beam Therapy, which to the treatment of prostate cancer it like Armour for thyroid problems. I only found out about it by joining a few prostate groups, including a GAY MEN'S prostate group-- I figured they would have excellent info--and it was one of those wonderful individuals who emailed me PRIVATELY and told me to look into Proton Beam Therapy. Check around for ALL options. Janie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
