Very well said.

Two years ago, a very good friend was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After surgery to remove the tumor, he was given radio therapy.

This therapy absolutely, totally, utterly and completely buggered up his final few months. It didn't prolong his life- it shortened it.
But for many patients that isn't the case, it can be a really effective form of treatment.

I still believe the parents should have the final say in their childs healthcare.I think we all or at least those of us of a certain age have lost friends to cancer so I know that there are no guarantees with any treatment.
I think the NHS respect religous values when administering care,so why not the people who brought him into this world
as if by magic someone who appears to demonstrate the attitude that dogs, staff, children and wives are chattels ...
It terrifies me that there are people like you in our public institutions. frown

why it would be rather more terrifying if good little handmaidens didn;t act in the best interests of patients rather than risk the ill informed wrath of their Master ...

A cancer treatment at the centre of an NHS controversy in 2014 causes fewer side effects in children than conventional radiotherapy, according to new research.

The study, published in The Lancet Oncology, suggests proton beam therapy is as effective as other treatments.

Researchers looked at 59 patients aged between three and 21 from 2003 to 2009.

it doesn't terrify me. i actually enjoy dealing with them on the odd occasion i have the misfortune to encounter them. fortunately and contrary to popular belief they are actually few and far between. unfortunately we are at a period in history where rather to much credence is given to the st they spew forth. this will change in time.
