I read with interest Markejon saying that as he is on the Hydroxy arm of the trial he has decided to forego his medication and take his chances on alternatives. I dont know about these alternatives they may be or may not be very good but if the best count they can give you is over a million it sure does not look very promising.
I have seen an example within my own family whereby treatment was refused. My father was a very brave man who having previously survived cancer with major surgery he declined to have a minor surgery when told that he had a problem with a heart valve.
My Mother and I were appalled but as a former Wartime time Commando he explained that he had cheated death many times and was not going to be afraid now.
Sadly he was dead within 6 months. I think that if you are a single man and are aware that your gamble may not pay off then if you wish to take your chances Ok but if you have a family you owe it to them to go with the medication programme. My father could possibly have still been alive today or in anycase have had several more years if he had only consented to the same surgery which Arnold Swarzenegger also had and look at where he is today.
I believe you said one of your recent counts on alternative medication was over 1200. Well Markejon old buddy even before my medication my count wasnt that high. Why not give the hydroxy another try or get on to Anagrelide. We all want to live to ripe old ages right so how about getting back on track.
Sorry if you dont like what I said but thats my 2 cents for you and this is meant to be a forum.
