    not sure
    I believe the doctors do the test when the benefits out-weigh the risks. Depending on what type and stage cancer you have, what is the alternative? Thats how I look at it. The chemo drugs aren't good for your system either.

    Glowing in the dark wouldn't
    Glowing in the dark wouldn't be so bad. I could save on batteries for my reading light, and my husband could still get a good night's sleep. And it would come in handy during camping trips or power outages!

    Always look on the bright side (snicker, pun intended)
