  1. I am trying to decide whether or not to do radiation therapy and I cannot find any actual patients, only clinicians. I am really dissappointed. We need a reckoning of cancer treatments, vs their side effects, which are most or least unbearable. Need to find places where people who have had the treatments talk about their side effects and if they regret having done the treatment. I dont need more professional consultation. I need to hear from people who have done it a month ago, a year ago, 5 years ago. I had whole brain radiation as a teenager, and it had effects for my entire life. At age 63, during covid, not sure I would recommend it to a teenager, though any clinician in the industry would, if your physician has. That is the kind of video i am looking for.
