Hi Lori T
People in the medical professions are taught to distrust forms of knowledge that are not backed up by a lot of scientific evidence. So until science has caught up with our conditions, there's going to be distrust amongst medical professions about new and emerging treatments. So, in the absence of this evidence, what to do?

While there is a lack of agreement between professionals, we as health consumers have no other choice than to make decisions about what we think is best for us. My decision to have RT was on the basis of Prof S's decade of experience with these conditions being the next best thing to solid scientific evidence. Do your reading, listen to the various forms of advice and make your decision when you feel sure it's right for you

Good luck
Di

What was the valid reason?

Her valid reasons were that the procedure might not be safe (she used the cancer scare tactic) and, as of yet, there hasn't been conclusive evidence through test studies to show that RT is really successful at slowing or stopping the progression of Dups. I started to explain the information I had read on the internet and she stood up, as if to leave. At that point I said, "okay we're done." I've never had an experience like that, and I wasn't prepared for a confrontation.
