As expected, that forum seems to consist mostly of desperate patients looking for answers. It is sad to see, a lot of the time, that so many patients who have such a terrible diagnosis still feel clueless and are unclear about their own disease. Doctors need to do a better job. Although, I have seen oncologists sit down with patients and have a discussion for an hour about the disease, its history, and the treatments, and at the end of the hour the patient will ask a question that indicates they haven't heard some key points. Clearly, though, when you are receiving news of that sort your ears are not totally open.
And I see some lovely individuals are using that forum as an opportunity to spam for their pathetic loser products that of course promise miracle results.
