Your initial statement was not worded that it was your opinion Steph,
you stated it as if it were fact. if you had said "in my opinion" I
would have taken it as just that. when you state something as if it is
fact and it is contradictory to the facts that the doctor I am dealing
with has presented me with which I provided you a link to, then I am
obligated to ask you on what do you base that statement, post
coroberating evidence to back it up.. Or as you say show me trials, show
me proof of what you say. In the future if you are making a statement as
an opinion only you should let it be known that it is only your opinion
and not scientific fact. This is not a procedure to be taken lightly, it
is long in both duration and recovery, a distance for me to travel and
quite risky being under anesthesia for 12 hours or more. so If you have
some valid argument other than just your own opinion against it or that
it truly is not of any medical value, then I'd like to hear it
otherwise you're just flappin your gums. All I've seen you say so far is
everyone else has to show you proof of anything they come up with but
you can say whatever you please and are not required to show any
science to back your statements. Ever heard what's good for the goose is
good for the gander?


OK, in my opinion, there is no evidence that peritoneal chemotherapy is of
any value in advanced colon cancer. However, it is an opinion shared by the
entire oncological community in BC, and most other places too.
I'm not the one suggesting that you do somthing unproven, dangerous, and
quite possibly pointless. Don't you think the person suggesting it to you
should be providing you wth some evidence. He is unlikely to, becsue as far
as I am aware there is none of any value.

I have no desire to put my body under such stress unles I am fairly well
convinced that there is merit to it and at least a possibility of
extending my time on this earth. It doesn't seem fair to me that I had
49 years to screw up and 1 or 2 if I'm lucky to make it right but then
who ever said life was fair. I'd like to extend that time as much as
possible, come to know My God and his son as much as I can and hopefully
try and make right as many wrongs as I can. It's not that I'm greedy for
life and hanging on tooth and nail, just that the more time I have to
set right the mess I made the more in peace I can be in when it is my
time and more people who will have at least some good memories of me
instead of all bad. I'd also be honored to have won a soul or two for my
lord before I go if I can possibly do so. I'm certainly not a mass
murderer of oncologists just itching to get some information about you
so I can bump you off. that's a pretty poor thing for a doctor to say.

I never thought for a minute you were...........but i think you get the
point. Life is often not fair. But that doesn't make what we wish was true,
true.

Be proud of what you do. You studied hard to get there, doctors save
lives as much as is humanly possible to do given our limited knowledge
of things. Doctors here are easily found on the internet. I've seen
pictures of, read the resumes of and researched the background of nearly
every doctor that I've dealt with so that I know beforehand that I'm
dealing with a competent person. There is no reason for you to hide your
identity although I respect your right to do so. I gave you a link to
facts justifying the procedure and will provide more if you ask. If you
want to know who I am I'll gladly email you all my contact info,
That's the last I have to say to you about it unless you have something
concrete to share. If anyone else has any opinions or facts about this
procedure that they' like to share I'd love to hear them.

Merry Christmas,
Jonboy


Jon. do what you think is best. I really hope things work out for you. But
don't take shots at the messenger. I'm really only interested in what is
best for you
