I know the last privacy post that TA posted was one that caused a stir and I’m crossing my fingers this one is taken as just information. Just providing a link and keeping my opinions to myself. Cheers NA 🍻

If you want better privacy, treatment in Europe might be in your cards. Here, in the land of the Free, your information isn't your own! As soon as you sign those consent forms... But sharing your medical data for research helps so many others, would you refrain from sharing it? Could you imagine Oncology ONLY being able to use data specific to those who've entered into studies, but not the wider results used once those studies result in approved methodology for application? Especially with PCa that due to average patient diagnosis age and life expectancy creates a difficult environment to do any long term study efficacy of patients because so many other natural health issues can get in the way.

I had those concerns too... But after a bit, didn't care and was more understanding. When I became StageIV, especially with my "unique" presentation of my cancer, knowing tracking me specifically and writing about me in medical journals might help someone else, I willingly signed off on tracking me... Didn't ever think I could help others, bit do hope that somehow I can. And that's what it is all about.

Sharing your medical data can be problematic, if course. But we can find both good and bad in all things if we look hard enough.

Just my $0.02¢ lol...

Have a great day!

One needs to program their Wi-Fi with the VPN for it to truly work in most cases. Some Companies that make Wi-Fi devices have VPN options already installed. Best Buy can direct you in the right direction. By doing so every device in the home or office runs VPN IP’s through each device. FYI.
