Little old ladies who were 99 were no more likely to die than those who were 93.The authors were dismayed. And in the end this is what we all want. I work for myself and Robin and I have a hunter gatherer life. Your GP sends you to the Surgeon who adds in the Oncologist and the Radiologist.They remove the cancer cells that they can and then give you chemo and radiation.
