Great story about decision making after dx.

She had a brain tumor but faced the same decisions we all do. Also makes a good point that most people don't know the questions to ask, don't get second opinions and don't have her expertise to approach their dx in a scientific manner. Also we are trained not to question our doctors about our treatment and we assume they are fully up on the latest treatments.
